Christian Writers on Judaism (1921) is an essay by George F. Moore.

Published in Harvard Theological Review 14 (1921): 197-254.

Abstract

In this article, Moore criticized the position of the majority of Christian scholar of his time as theologically biased in their negative description of Judaism as legalistic and alienated from God.

The work of Moore had a great impact also in Pauline Studies. He considered Paul's statements about the law to be a complete misrepresentation of the true Jewish position. Grace is operative in Judaism, no less than in Christianity.
