[Erskine Childers]

"there’s nothing in the Talmud about Jesus or Mary."

That's just silly. Of course the Talmud talks about both. At least, that is the way these texts were always understood.

For an excellent treatment of the subject from a very reputable Jewish source, I would respectfully refer you to "Jesus in the Talmud" by Peter Schafer. You can find it on Amazon here:
