At this turbulent time in our history, Rabbi Greenberg's new book
makes an invaluable contribution to interfaith conversation. He
calls for Christians and Jews to come together in their
continuously evolving partnership with God - dual covenants that
demand openness to each other, learning from each other, and a
respect for the distinctiveness of the ongoing validity of each
other. Now, when the resurgence of anti-Semitism poses a threat to
us here and around the world, this powerful book presents a new
opportunity to heed the call first put forward by Rabbi Greenberg
nearly four decades ago: a call for people of all faiths and
cultures to work together to create a world in which everyone can
live with dignity and equality - the deserved inheritance of a
humanity created in the image of God. personal journey that led to
his rethinking of Christianity, initially stimulated by his
research on Holocaust testimony, and that ultimately gave rise to
the belief that Christianity, Judaism, and indeed every religion
that works to repair the world and advance the triumph of life are
valid expressions of the pact between God and humankind. In Part 2
he brings together for the first time his seven most important
essays on the new encounters between Judaism and Christianity in
our generation.Ideal for study groups and course adoption, the book
contains a study guide as well as endnotes, an index, and
thought-provoking responsive essays by leading Catholic,
Protestant, and Jewish commentators, including James Carroll,
Krister Stendahl, and Michael Novak. Readers, students, and
scholars of Judaism, Christianity, and comparative religions will
find this to be one of the most important books of our time on the
Christian-Jewish relationship. An ordained Orthodox rabbi and a
Harvard Ph.D., Irving (Yitz) Greenberg is president of Jewish Life
Network. Learning and Leadership. He has served as rabbi of
Riverdale Jewish Center, a professor at Yeshiva University, and
