For the Christian, Christianity is Israel fulfilled. For the Jew, Christianity is Israel perverted. But for both, Christianity is an affirmation of Israel and of the substantial legitimacy of its theology." (85) -- Comment by Robert McAfee Brown (on cover of the 1965 reprint): "Father Weigel is the leading American Catholic proponent of the `dialogue' that is beginning to take place in this country between Catholics and Protestants. This book represents a substantial contribution to that dialogue. In it Father Weigel demonstrates the kind of candor and charity that are indispensable ingred- ients to significant interchange between the two faiths. He not only tells his readers what Catholics are thinking, but also shows them how Catholics think. His pages clarify the way in which Catholic thought develops and unfolds, and also clarify the unyielding core and substance at the center of Catholic faith. He dodges none of the prickly issues such as Scripture, tradition, dogma and politics, and he deals with them all in a creative fashion, so that both Catholic and non-Catholic readers will finish this book with greater clarity about the issues thatboth unite and divide them."

Van Dusen (in 1965 reprint): `More than any other leader of his Church of comparable stature, he enjoyed the confidence and affection of Protestant churchmen. More than any other Catholic scholar,as this book testifies, he had schooled himself in the difficult and delicate role of interpreting Christians of different affilia tions to each other, thus serving uniquely as a personal bridge for the traffic of thought and the furtherance of fellowship. With extraordinary skill and clarity, forged by painstaking research and meticulous care, Father Weigel here sets for the whole vast and complex panorama.'. 1st edition. Binding is Hardcover.
