Christianity in Jewish Terms
Description
Over the past few decades, there has been a dramatic and unprecedented shift in Jewish-Christian relations,
including signs of a new, improved Christian attitude towards Jews. Christianity in Jewish Terms is a Jewish
theological response to the profound changes that have taken place in Christian thought. The book is divided into
ten chapters, each of which features a main essay, written by a Jewish scholar, that explores the meaning of a set
of Christian beliefs. Following the essay is a response from a second Jewish scholar and a Christian scholar.
Designed to generate new conversations within the American Jewish community and between the Jewish and
Christian communities, Christianity in Jewish Terms lays the foundation for better understanding.
