This book addresses Judaism and Orthodox Christianity, and
particularly their points of similarity and difference, congruence
and conflict. The city of Jerusalem stands at the heart of both
these age-old faiths, but today it is a divided city in which Jews
and Orthodox Christians seem to find themselves on opposite sides
of history. Must this story be one of continuing conflict, or is
there scope for reconciliation and common effort? How do religions
that cherish tradition face up to the challenges of a rapidly
changing world? What place can they offer to women? Can they
welcome lesbian and gay adherents? How do their traditional
resources help them to face climate change and other environmental
issues? How have they responded to the COVID pandemic? What
contribution can they make to current debates about subjects like
euthanasia and assisted dying? In seventeen chapters by expert
theologians and historians this book examines central issues of
common concern. The focus is on dialogue and deepened knowledge.
The authors dispel some widely held misconceptions and identify a
good deal of common ground. In this way the book aims to lay
foundations for future engagement between the two religions.
