Papers by Lukas Klima
8e life story of David Flusser (1917 Vienna – 2000 Jerusalem) extends from interwar
Czechoslovakia, where he grew up and studied, to the broad research and teaching activities
of an erudite professor at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He was a leading
authority on Second Temple Judaism as well as early Christian writings. His contribution to
the Jewish-Christian dialogue lies above all in his deep understanding of early Christianity,
which he approached with great interest, openness and friendliness. For him, both Jesus
and the apostle Paul are inspirational personalities who can only be properly understood
in the context of the Jewish tradition of the time. 8e presented article focuses on how
Flusser perceives their relationship to Jewish law (Torah) and how he sees Jewish attitudes
to Jesus’ crucifixion.
Keywords: David Flusser; Jewish-Christian dialogue; early Christianity; relationship to Torah;
Jewish attitudes to Jesus’ crucifixion
