- Title
INTO ANOTHER INTENSITY: CHRISTIAN-JEWISH DIALOGUE MOVES FORWARD.
- Authors
Kogan, Michael S.
- Abstract
Prior to Vatican II, supersessionist and triumphalist attitudes informed Christian evaluations of Judaism, but in the past forty years many churches have reconsidered Jews and Judaism in positive ways. They now view Jews as partners in healing the world rather than as potential converts. The key to this new attitude is Christianity's recognition of the eternal validity of the divine covenant with Israel, still operative after Calvary as it was before. A proper Jewish response to these changes in Christian thinking will include a Jewish recognition of Christianity as a revealed faith. At least one Jewish statement on Christianity seems to affirm this position. The essay examines this statement of Jewish theologians as well as a statement in response to it by a group of Christian theologians, then concludes with an evaluation of twin statements issued by Catholic bishops and Conservative and Reform rabbis, bringing the evolving dialogue up to date.
