Paperback. A Brief Introduction for Jews. For many Jews, discerning the differences among various Christian groups is a mystery. This accessible interfaith resource presents the essential doctrines that undergird most Christian beliefs as a way of understanding the differences among the various branches of Christianity. It addresses key concepts at the heart of the Christian faith tradition, including the notion of sin in Christianity, salvation, the role of Jesus as the messiah, the Second Coming, and Christian Zionism. Addressing each of the major denominations, this intriguing introduction to modern Christianity focuses on the evolution of the Roman Catholic Church after Nostra Aetate in 1965 and explores the contemporary developments of mainline Protestant churches. It examines the Southern Baptists and their view of the Jewish relationship to God, as well as the popular manifestation of Christianity, as evidenced in televangelism and mega-churches. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

An insightful exploration into Christianity today―written especially for Jews.
For many Jews, discerning the differences among various Christian groups is perplexing. As a result, they are stuck with an outdated understanding of Christian beliefs, practices and attitudes, especially with regard to their relationship with Judaism, Jews and Israel.
But Christian views are evolving, particularly since the landmark 1965 Catholic statement known as Nostra Aetate that forever changed the landscape of Jewish-Christian relations. This intriguing, brief introduction focuses on the changing Christian currents within the Roman Catholic Church, Protestant denominations, nondenominational megachurches and the emergent church. It also explores the essential doctrines that undergird most Christian belief, including sin, salvation, Jesus as the Messiah, the Second Coming and Christian Zionism―and compares them to the Jewish understanding of these issues.
Designed to answer Jews’ common questions about Christianity, this enlightening overview is also an excellent interfaith resource that will help all readers understand the changing Christian climate and what its implications are for the future of Judaism and interfaith relations.
