The Book of Nestor the Priest, originally titled Account of the Disputation of the Priest or its Hebrew textual avatar Sefer Nestor Ha-Komer is thought to be the earliest surviving anti-Christian Jewish polemic. The original version of the book was written in Judeo-Arabic and also a translation to Hebrew which confused an opening quote from Nestorius with the name of the author of the book, who is actually unknown. It cites extensively and critically from the New Testament and Church sources. The title komer (כומר) describes a Christian priest, rather than a kohen or Jewish priest. The text is written as the story of a Christian priest who converted to Judaism and wrote a critical account of the fundamental Christian doctrine regarding the nature of Jesus and the Trinity.
