Between Jesus & Yahweh

The following book review explores Harold Bloom's book "Jesus and Yahweh: The Names Divine". In this book Bloom claims that Jesus and Jesus Christ are two entirely unrelated figures.

For him,
Jesus is the Jew Yeshua about whom no verifiable facts are knowable, whereas Jesus Christ is a later theological construct that owes a great deal to Hellenic thought. Christ, for Bloom, is a betrayal of Jesus the man, Yeshua.
