NEW YORK (JTA)- "Jesiis Christ, Superstar," the rock opera, recently opened on ^roadway, has been criticized by a Presbyterian scholar as "less than fair in depicting, the role of Jewish individuals and institutions' in the Passion of Jesus, as we know it from the New Testament." The critic. Dr. Gerald S. Strober, active in intergroup affairs fhd consultant on' rdigious curriculum to the Ainerican ^Jewish Com¬ mittee, daims that the shoV "unambiguously lays the priinaiy responsibility for Jesus' suffeiring and crucifixion to the Jewish priesthood . .. portrayed as
hideously inhuman and satanically evil: con- tenjptuous, callous and bloodthirsty." This concept, he says, is not borne oUt by the New Testament.
Dr. Strober aittended Moody Bible Instibite. in Chicago, ' received his master's degree in Jewish culture from New York University, hasJbeen pastor of the Surrey (N.Hi) Congregational Church, has "served on the staff oi an inner-city church' in Brooklyn, and has been acting director of the History Department at Barrington (R.I.) College. A spokesman for the AJCommittee described    him    as    "a
prominent Protestant educator." Or. Strober, wlw prepared his seven-page analysis of "Superstar" at the request of the AJCom¬ mittee, comments:
"In some' cases, the emotional coloring ' is deepened to make Jewish individuals and their acts appear more sinister than the gospel record warrants. In other cases, .historical facts are enlarged, modified or glossed' over so as to create. black - vs. - mliite cmtrasts where the record indicates only grays.
