This volume gathers together studies on various ""engagements""
between Judaism and Christianity. Following an introduction on ""my
odyssey in New Testament interpretation,"" Professor Davies
examines such topics as the nature of Judaism, canon and
Christology, Torah and dogma, law in Christianity, and the promised
land in Jewish and Christian tradition. Part II focuses on Paul and
Judaism, with special attention to Paul and the exodus, Paul and
the law, and the allegory of the two olives in Romans 11:13-24.
Part III looks at the background and origins of the Gospels,
centering specifically on Matthew and John. Part IV takes up an
exclusively American engagement with Judaism, that is, the Mormon's
claim to be Christian and their assertion that they are
genealogically connected with Jews and therefore physically a
recovered, restored, and reinterpreted Israel. The volume concludes
with a discussion and critique of ""mystical anti-Semitism,"" that
is, ascribing to ""The Jews"" (not to ""Jews"") the central role in
the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth, leading to a view of ""The
Jews"" as essentially satanic or demonic. This collection of
seminal essays by a preeminent New Testament scholar highlights the
encounter of two great religious traditions and stimulates the
dialogue between them. W. D. Davies was Emeritus Ivey Professor of
Advanced Studies and Research in Christian Origin at Duke
University. He was the author of many books, including Paul and
Rabbinic Judaism and Jewish and Pauline Studies.
