A probing interfaith dialogue that traces the Jewish-Christian schism to its very source. Shows how Judaism became Christianity's foil and offers fresh retellings of foundational Christian texts to present a better future between the two faith traditions.
"Startling in its innovative approach ? shatters the mold of most approaches to Gospel commentary. It imaginatively yokes together historical scholarship, literary freshness and commitment to interreligious dialogue-all with a spiritual energy that is unnervingly evocative for our turbulent times."
-Rev. Alan Race, editor in chief, Interreligious Insight: A Journal of Dialogue and Engagement
"Excellent and insightful ? a fresh and dynamic model for Jewish-Christian collaboration. This book is going to open minds and, more important, change hearts."
-Rabbi Rami Shapiro, author of The Divine Feminine in Biblical Wisdom Literature: Selections Annotated & Explained
"Offers us sensitive reflections on key religious texts that have produced pain and separation in the past, and shows us a way through these texts to a more wholesome and productive encounter between the two faith communities. A welcome addition to the dialogue on Christian-Jewish relations."
-John T. Pawlikowski, OSM, PhD, director, Catholic-Jewish Studies Program Catholic Theological Union, Chicago; president, International Council of Christians and Jews
