BUG/correction required: Jacob Neusner was Jewish!
There is a presently a large sale on Wipf & Stock books.
If you filter that sale for works by the late Rabbi Jacob Neusner, you get 96 results.
At the moment, filtering that sale for Jewish works gets you one result!

Alas, it didn't work.

Bump! This one was not reproducible because that sale isn't on anymore, but the problem still exists. Most of Neusner's books are not tagged as Jewish.
If you search the store for "Jacob Neusner" you find a ton of books by him. But then if you filter the results by "Jewish" you get only 15 books.
Also, since when is "Jewish" a "Christian Group"? [:D] That grouping of facets should maybe be called Religious Group, but probably 98% of the time it is a Christian group so people would react to that as making Logos more "unChristian" so I don't think I'll bring it up as a gripe for a separate post. I'll just chuckle at it here.

Absent seeing your screen-capture, I'd have thought ... well gee ... Jewish Christian! But then, there's already one of those.I'm really not sure where Faithlife 'stands' on 'Jewish'. Do they limit, relative to Christian? Or maybe a few samples of 'some Jews' (that sounds bad). Neusner is an interesting problem ... he's definitely Jewish, but 'real Jewish' ... relative to his critics? And so as a reader, one has 'be careful' when probably, not really.
I'm currently on a Jewish perspective on early Christianity. It's driving my batty due to proposals stated as declarative facts. So I have to check, check, check. But it's quite good, merging the NT with Josephus and the early Talmud and Roman records. Historian. I'd not recommend it for Logos.

Maybe he's like George Santos: "Jew-ish". [:D]

Neusner is an ordained Conservative Jewish rabbi, he grew up in the Reform Jewish movement though, but he is still a part of the Yahadut Masortit movement. However, the term Convservative within Judaism however does not mean the same thing it does in western media of in western Christianity!
The conservative movement of Judaism is a traditional but yet moderate and egalitarian movement they are not as progressive as the Reform movement, but not observent as the modern Orthodox, Hasidic Judaism, or Haredi Judaism. So for example the conservative Jews/Masorti Jews can openly practice textual criticism/literary criticism and no one will bat an eye and the conservative movement also ordains women Rabbi and Cantors so it very egalitarian.
