Two Faiths, One Covenant?: Jewish and Christian Identity in the Presence of the Other

In the twenty-first century, Jews and Christians are challenged to reconsider their theological assumptions by two inescapable truths the moral tragedy of the holocaust demands that Christian thinkers acknowledge the violent effects of theologically delegitimizing Jews and Judaism, and the pervasive reality of cultural and religious pluralism calls both Christian and Jewish theologians to rethink the covenant in the presence of the Other. iTwo Faiths, One Covenant? Jewish and Christian Identity in the Presence of the Otheri is a breakthrough work that embraces this contemporary challenge and charts a path toward fruitful interfaith dialogue. The Christian and Jewish theologians in this book explore the ways that both religions have understood the covenant and reflect on how it can serve as a reservoir for a positive theological relationship between Christianity and Judaism-not merely one of non-belligerent tolerance, but of respect and theological pluralism, however limited.
