I don't want to repeat what has been said before, so I will just make one point. There are a number of Yiddish words scattered throughout the New Testament. Of course Jews no more spoke Yiddish in Christ's time than they spoke English. I asked Dr Stern why he had done this; he replied that it was to add to the Jewish flavor of the New Testament. That sums up the book - deliberate sloppy scholarship to convey a false flavor of Jewishness.
