Product Description: Explains to American Jews the core religious beliefs of Christianity and assesses the threats and promises of the Jewish-Christian encounter from a Jewish perspective.
Over the past few decades, there has been a dramatic and unprecedented shift in Jewish-Christian relations, including signs of a new, improved Christian attitude towards Jews. Christianity in Jewish Terms is a Jewish theological response to the profound changes that have taken place in Christian thought. The book is divided into ten chapters, each of which features a main essay, written by a Jewish scholar, that explores the meaning of a set of Christian beliefs. Following the essay are responses from a second Jewish scholar and a Christian scholar. Designed to generate new conversations within the American Jewish community and between the Jewish and Christian communities, Christianity in Jewish Terms lays the foundation for better understanding.

A Great Book
This is a very provacative and timely book. It's sure to upset many but it may also do some good in getting both Jews and Christians to acknowledge the overlaps in their traditions. If only Muslims would read this book! They too would have something to learn!
