prof. R. Wisse: Sholem Asch and his Christological Works

Professor Ruth Wisse speaks about the controversy of Sholem Asch's Christological works. Wisse explains the reasoning behind Asch's work, which was perhaps intended as a nexus between Judaism and Christianity. Furthermore, the tension between Abe Cahan of the Forverts and Asch is considered in the context of Asch's Christological works.
