Harold Bloom explores the stark theological divide between Christianity and Judaism, seeing Jesus and Yahweh as inherently different and often incompatible figures. He argues that the two religions do not share a unified tradition but instead represent distinct “gods” with contrasting natures. Bloom critiques the Christian concept of the Trinity, suggesting it obscures Jesus’s identity and pushes Yahweh into a distant “God the Father” role. His interpretation includes literary parallels, likening Mark’s portrayal of Jesus to Hamlet, emphasizing Jesus’s complexity and mystery. This provocative book is insightful but may challenge traditional religious perspectives. [Adapted from Reviews]
