Let me refrase the question:
Is Java required in order to use Java Server Pages/Servlet?
also I have been reading a book(Wrox: Beginning Java 2 SDK 1.4)
and its does not teach you anything about JSP. Should I quit reading
that book?

Java is actually the language. Servlet, JSP, applet, EJB..etc are tecnologies that use the language,
so you need to have some basic of Java language. Once you have the basic, the rest are just APIs and design patterns.
I've gone throught the toc of the book, the 1st haft of the book are basic knowledge and the 2nd haft are API that you might use in your application.
There's lots of tutorials at http://java.sun.com, the following are some of the references I used when i learn my java:
