  1. On page 4 the review states that Mishkin counted 4 or 5 non-Messianic Jewish writers who believed in the historicity of the resurrection. The list includes: Pinchas Lapide [already well known to have done so in Christian apologetical circles], Michael S. Kogan, Michael Goldberg, and Peter Zaas and PERHAPS ALSO Jon D. Levenson.

    However the review also states on page 12 that, "Also, a couple of times, the views of critical scholars seem to be mischaracterized (37, 179)." If true, that can call into question Mishkin's interpretation that along with Lapide, there are 3 or possibly 4 other Jewish writers he found who accepted the historicity of the resurrection. Presumably though, on an issue this clear cut, Mishkin is unlikely to misinterpret those writers as clearly believing something they don't clearly believe.
