What percentage of Jews were in “finance” (money-lenders) throughout Middle Ages? But, @DVK, as relates to the stereotype of “Jews in finance”, tax collection does apply. |

Why did Greeks and Romans dilute their wine? I've seen that claim too, but find it hard to accept without specific sources (see my edits). |

Does Jewish history record Jesus's saying “I am God” or similar utterance? @jwenting: The same holds for the Talmud. Some stories there recorded are meant to be taken as historical (though scholars will debate how far to accept them), but others are more obviously polemical. I’m not sure what you’re asking me. |

Does Jewish history record Jesus's saying “I am God” or similar utterance? @Ali, this (with some minor edits) was the answer I’d intended to post to ✡.SE; I hope it suits you. |

Does Jewish history record Jesus's saying “I am God” or similar utterance? That sounds about right. |

Why did Martin Luther hate the Jews? @Anixx, that might not be a bad question to post here: “Have Jews resisted conversion more than other faiths?” |

Does Jewish history record Jesus's saying “I am God” or similar utterance? @Drux: I’d originally written the answer for ✡.SE (where the question originated), then adapted it as best I could for this site. The question as asked does not ask about evidence for what the historical Jesus did or didn’t say, but what “Jewish sources or authoritative ancient texts” record. The Talmud is such a source, but I included caveats regarding the historical usefulness of its stories about Jesus. It’s possible that this question, as currently written, is not a good fit for this site either; if the question is changed, I’ll try to adapt my answer. |
