Today, more than ever, Jewish-Christian relations have taken a front seat in public discourse. This book will surely enliven the current discussion. This book comprises one of the most sustained Jewish theological encounters with Christianity by one of the world's leading Jewish theologians. These compelling reflections explore the central theological concerns of Judaism and Christianity and provide a unique Jewish perspective on Jewish-Christian dialogue. David Novak ranges broadly over what matters most in contemporary interfaith discussion, including the nature of revelation, the meaning and methods of true theological dialogue, and philosophical understandings of God. He also offers searching studies of great Christian theologians, discusses the controversial canonization of Edith Stein, describes the moral crisis of the West after the Holocaust, and much more.
