This book makes available in English important essays delivered at
the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome to mark the fortieth
anniversary of the Second Vatican Council's Declaration on the
Relationship of the Church to Non-Christian Religions (Nostra
Aetate). Surveying official Vatican dialogues and documents over
the preceding decades, the essays also explore challenging
theological questions posed by the Shoah and the subsequent
Catholic recognition of the permanence of the Jewish people's
covenantal life with God. Featuring articles by Vatican officials,
leading rabbis, diplomats, and Catholic and Jewish scholars, the
book discusses the nature of Christian-Jewish relations and the
need to remember its conflicted and often tragic history, aspects
of a Christian theology of Judaism, the Catholic-Jewish dialogue
since the Shoah, and the establishment of formal diplomatic
relations between the Holy See and the State of Israel. The book
includes an essay by Cardinal Walter Kasper, president of the
Pontifical Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews, and
appendices documenting the official rapprochement between the
Church and the Jewish People in recent decades.
