About this title

Synopsis

It has been said that there will be no peace among the nations until there is peace among the religions of the world. This book records the reflections and dialogue of nine distinguished scholars, who by exploring past and present relationships between Christians and Jews, are enhancing the search for new means of communication and the development of a future in which Jewish-Christian bonds are stronger and closer. This volume ranges from a review of New Testament attitudes, the impact of the writings of Martin Luther, to the Holocaust. History cannot be ignored, but here scholars are dedicated to an honest and searching review of old attitudes and ideas, in order to insure that a future free of bitter hatred and gross injustice is possible. Eight pages of illustrations represent the historical visions of Christianity and Judaism as envisioned by architects and sculptors through the centuries. Complete Indexes of names and passages and a selected Bibliography of further readings on Jewish-Christian relationships round out this important volume.
