Medieval Attitudes

Attacks on Christian dogma are found in medieval Jewish writings from the biblical commentaries of Rashi and [David]
Kimhi, refuting the Christian claim that the Old Testament contains prophesies anticipating the coming of Jesus, through
works of apologetics such as the Kuzari of Judah Halevi and the Faith Strengthened of [the Karaite] Isaac of Troki (d. 1593),
to the records drawn up by Jews of the various disputations they had with Christians [perhaps the most famous being the
disputation about the nature of the Messiah between the apostate Pablo Christiani and Rabbi Moses ben Nahman,
Nahmanides, in 1263].
