R. L TAYLOR DETROIT SALE,

Moses' theme is in complete
contrast to the reverent atti-
tude he displays toward the
founders of. Christianity.
"Never in his "The Nazarene,"
the "Apostle" and "Mary" does
he dare deviate by as much as a
hair's breath from accepted
Christian teaching s. He is
faithful to his New Testament
source, altering nothing, omit-
ting nothing. Where he fails
to satisfy the Catholic, he
pleases the Protestant, and
vice versa. The Protestant dol-
lar, too, is equal to a hundred
cents."

He continues to charge. that
`when Asch wrote of Moses, it
was the Nazarene who guided
his thoughts.". "The highly
moral • Sholem Asch . . . finds
that Moses was not moral
enough."
Lieberman shows how Asch
defames Jewish characters and
Jewish ideas in East River. He
