Is There a New Imbalance in Jewish-Christian Relations? by António Barbosa da Silva Pdf

Asserts that three preconditions have produced an imbalance and created difficulties in conducting Christian-Jewish dialogue since 1967: that Christians should renounce antisemitism, abstain from proselytizing among Jews, and recognize Israel's right to exist within the boundaries accepted by the UN. Discusses Rosemary Ruether's thesis that Christian anti-Judaism implies the concept of antisemitism, arguing that the intention to eradicate the roots of antisemitism from the New Testament could shake the foundations of Christian teaching and produce a relativization of Christianity. States that some passages of the New Testament are anti-Judaic only with respect to Jesus' contemporaries, and are not inherently anti-Jewish. Ch. 8 (pp. 293-305) discusses the Holocaust from a Christian theological perspective, considering it "absolutely inhuman, anti-biblical and anti-Christian". Concludes that all forms of antisemitism (including the Holocaust) are a rejection of the biblical concept of God, of man, and of Judeo-Christian ethics.

Challenges in Jewish-Christian Relations by James Keltie Aitken,Edward Kessler Pdf

James K. Aitken and Edward D. Kessler have assembled here a widely diverse collection of essays on Jewish-Christian relations, a discipline that, compared with other subjects studied in university and religious circles, is relatively young. Jewish-Christian relations is a complex enterprise that cannot be reduced to simple theological or historical narratives; it must take into account politics, sociology, education, language, history, biblical studies, hermeneutics, and theology. The contributors view their particular subject through the lens of all of these disciplines while ably meeting the challenge of looking toward the future. Chapter One Introduction James K.

Introduction to Jewish-Christian Relations by Michael Shermis,Arthur E. Zannoni Pdf

In recent decades Christians and Jews are beginning to ask questions about one another's traditions, to break down centuries-old barriers of prejudice, and to explore not only our differences, but our similarities of faith as well. This book walks the reader through rich but controversial terrain--the Bible, the Holocaust, the state of Israel, anti-Judaism, theology, Christology, intermarriage, feminism, and approaches to education. In each area the reader is asked to listen, to be open, to stretch, and to wrestle with the deeply felt beliefs that unite as well as divide us. The authors, representing Jewish, Protestant, and Catholic traditions, introduce the reader to the terms, content, and intricacies of inter-religious dialogue, the quest for better relations among all those who worship the God of Abraham and Sarah.

An Unusual Relationship by Yaakov Ariel Pdf

"In this enormously well researched and gracefully argued book, Ariel develops a nuanced theme: the complexity, ambivalence, and even paradox that has characterized conservative Protestant beliefs regarding Jews and Israel, and the diverse responses among Jews. . . . First-rate scholarship presented in a pleasingly accessible style." —Stephen Spector, author of Evangelicals and Israel: The Story of American Christian Zionism It is generally accepted that Jews and evangelical Christians have little in common. Yet special alliances developed between the two groups in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Evangelicals viewed Jews as both the rightful heirs of Israel and as a group who failed to recognize their true savior. Consequently, they set out to influence the course of Jewish life by attempting to evangelize Jews and to facilitate their return to Palestine. Their double-edged perception caused unprecedented political, cultural, and theological meeting points that have revolutionized Christian-Jewish relationships. An Unusual Relationship explores the beliefs and political agendas that evangelicals have created in order to affect the future of the Jews. This volume offers a fascinating, comprehensive analysis of the roots, manifestations, and consequences of evangelical interest in the Jews, and the alternatives they provide to conventional historical Christian-Jewish interactions. It also provides a compelling understanding of Middle Eastern politics through a new lens. Yaakov Ariel is Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His book, Evangelizing the Chosen People, was awarded the Albert C. Outler prize by the American Society of Church History. In the Goldstein-Goren Series in American Jewish History

Christian Jewish Relations 1000-1300 by Anna Sapir Abulafia Pdf

The history of relations between Jews and Christians has been a long, complex and often unsettled one; yet histories of medieval Christendom have traditionally paid only passing attention to the role played by Jews in a predominantly Christian society. This book provides an original survey of medieval Christian-Jewish relations encompassing England, Spain, France and Germany, and sheds light in the process on the major developments in medieval history between 1000 and 1300. Anna Sapir Abulafia's balanced yet humane account offers a new perspective on Christian-Jewish relations by analysing the theological, socio-economic and political services Jews were required to render to medieval Christendom. The nature of Jewish service varied greatly as Christian rulers struggled to reconcile the desire to profit from the presence of Jewish men and women in their lands with conflicting theological notions about Judaism. Jews meanwhile had to deal with the many competing authorities and interests in the localities in which they lived; their continued presence hinged on a fine balance between theology and pragmatism. The book examines the impact of the Crusades on Christian-Jewish relations and analyses how anti-Jewish libels were used to define relations. Making adept use of both Latin and Hebrew sources, Abulafia draws on liturgical and exegetical material, and narrative, polemical and legal sources, to give a vivid and accurate sense of how Christians interacted with Jews and Jews with Christians.

Jewish-Christian Relations Since the Second World War by Geoffrey Wigoder Pdf

The five sections of the book are entitled: Christian Attitudes to Judaism and the Jews; Jewish Attitudes to the Dialogue; The Vatican and the Jews; Israel in the Dialogue; The Dialogue in Israel. Ch. 3 discusses the "Nostra Aetate" declaration (1965). The Churches undertook the revision of many religious teachings in order to eliminate the traditional antisemitic stereotype of the Jews. Not enough, however, is being done in either Jewish or Christian education to build up understanding of the values and beliefs of the other. The appendix (pp. 143-167) contains documents - statements by the Vatican ("Nostra Aetate, " the "Guidelines, " the "Notes") and the World Council of Churches.

The New Testament as Reception by Mogens Müller,Henrik Tronier Pdf

In this book a new concept is systematically explored: that of the New Testament as a "reception" of various antecedents. Three chapters cover its reception of the Old Testament, of Second Temple Judaism and of Graeco-Roman culture. Three further chapters explore the reception of Jesus, using as examples the Synoptic parables, Matthew's Messianic Teacher, and the Christology of the Book of Revelation. Paul is considered in a chapter on his reception in Acts, and three final chapters survey broader themes: feminist reception, reception history within the New Testament (using the Annunciation as an example), and translation.

Jacob’s Younger Brother by Karma Ben-Johanan Pdf

A Seminary Co-op Notable Book “An astute and evenhanded study of how both faiths view themselves and each other.” —Publishers Weekly “An illuminating and important new book...An intellectual, cultural, and political challenge...[F]or anyone for whom the Jewish-Christian story is an important element in defining his or her identity.” —Israel Jacob Yuval, Haaretz “An extraordinarily sophisticated, insightful and provocative examination of how Roman Catholics and Orthodox Jews addressed the prospect of reconciliation in the second half of the twentieth century.” —Glenn C. Altschuler, Jerusalem Post “A volume from which both Jewish and Catholic scholars may learn...This is an excellent book.” —Eugene J. Fisher, Catholic News Service A new chapter in Jewish-Christian relations opened in the second half of the twentieth century when the Second Vatican Council exonerated Jews from the accusation of deicide and declared that the Jewish people had never been rejected by God. In a few carefully phrased statements, two millennia of deep hostility were swept into the trash heap of history. But old animosities die hard. While Catholic and Jewish leaders publicly promoted interfaith dialogue, doubts remained behind closed doors. Drawing on extensive research in contemporary rabbinical literature, Karma Ben-Johanan shows that Jewish leaders welcomed the Catholic condemnation of antisemitism but were less enthusiastic about the Church’s sudden urge to claim their friendship. Catholic theologians hoped Vatican II would turn the page on an embarrassing history, while Orthodox rabbis, in contrast, believed they were finally free to say what they thought of Christianity. Jacob’s Younger Brother pulls back the veil of interfaith dialogue to reveal how Orthodox rabbis and Catholic leaders spoke about each other when outsiders were not in the room. There Ben-Johanan finds Jews reluctant to accept the latest whims of a Church that had unilaterally dictated the terms of Jewish-Christian relations for centuries.
