The Way into the Relationship Between Jews And Non-Jews: Searching for Boundaries And Bridges

The Way Into

by Michael A. Signer

For everyone who wants to understand how Jews have related to people of other faiths, particularly Christianity, throughout history and today, this book shows the way into an essential aspect of Judaism and Jewish life and allows you to interact directly with the essential texts of the Jewish tradition as well as the texts of some Christian communities. Dr. Michael A. Signer, Abrams Professor of Jewish Thought and Culture at the University of Notre Dame, brings us this provocative book in time to coincide with the fortieth anniversary year of Nostra Aetate, the papal declaration that changed the Catholic Church's attitude toward Jews and Judaism. He helps us discover the many ways Jews have interacted with, defended the identity of and honored non-Jews from biblical times through the founding of Israel to contemporary Jewish-Christian interfaith dialogues.
