Christian Theology of Judaism, A
Outline: This is an important study by a noted Catholic theologian that focuses on the place of Judaism within a true Christian self-understanding. It is the best comprehensive treatment of the subject available and reveals the author's wide-ranging expertise in all phases of the development of Jewish thought: biblical, talmudic, medieval and modern. He gives special clarity to the question of the Jewish background of the New Testament and offers a helpful and positive approach to the problem of the "antisemitisms" so frequently cited from the Gospels. The author combines fine theological insight with a rich historical understanding to provide a rare balance with either overlooks the evils and tensions of Christian-Jewish relations in the past, nor allows misguided judgments to pass by or to misunderstanding stand the good side of the dialogue.
