Face to Face: Dr. Brown Responds to Rabbi Blumenthal

On August 20, 2024, Dr. Brown was joined in his studio in North Carolina by Rabbi Yisroel Blumenthal. This video represents the complete, unedited dialogue they had on that day. Since the year 2000, Dr. Brown has published more than 2,000 pages of material pointing to Jesus as Messiah and responding to Jewish objections to Jesus. Rabbi Blumenthal, for his part, has published several hundreds of pages of responses to Dr. Brown’s writings, and in this dialogue, Dr. Brown responds to many of the most important questions raised by Rabbi Blumenthal in his writings. Dr. Brown and Rabbi Blumenthal hope and pray that God’s truth will be advanced through their interaction.

For a full listing of Rabbi Blumenthal’s relevant responses, he has provided this detailed outline:

“On August 20 2024 I met with Dr. Brown for several hours. The context of the meeting was to discuss his responses to questions with which I had challenged his 5 volume series; “Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus.” These challenges can be found in “Contra Brown” (2007) – https://judaismresources.net/contra-brown/ , “The Elephant and the Suit” (2010) – https://judaismresources.net/the-elephant-and-the-suit/ and “Supplement to Contra Brown” (2011) – https://judaismresources.net/supplement-to-contra-brown/

Prior to the meeting I sent Dr. Brown a selection of questions from those 3 works and we agreed that the format of our meeting would primarily consist of me asking him the questions and his responses. We did try to stick to that format but naturally the discussion went beyond the planned format.

We ended up discussing 8 questions and we hope that you find the recording educational.
The following is a basic timeline of the questions as well as links to articles that I had written in the past on the subjects that came up in the discussion.”
