In September 2002, twenty-one prominent Catholic and Protestant scholars released the groundbreaking document 'A Sacred Obligation,' which includes ten statements about Jewish-Christian dialogue focused around a guiding claim: 'Revising Christian teaching about Judaism and the Jewish people is a central and indispensable obligation of theology in our time.' Following the worldwide reception of their document, the authors have expanded their themes into Seeing Judaism Anew. The essays in this volume offer a conceptual framework by which Christians can rethink their understanding of the church's relationship to Judaism and show how essential it is that Christians represent Judaism accurately, not only as a matter of justice for the Jewish people, but also for the integrity of Christian faith. By linking New Testament scholarship to the Shoah, Christian liturgical life, and developments in the church, this volume addresses the important questions at the heart of Christian identity, such as: Are only Christians saved? Why did Jesus die? Why is Israel so important to Jews, and what should we think about the conflict in the Middle East? How is Christianity complicit in the Holocaust? What is important about Jesus being a Jew?

Mirrored Images by Rosanne Catalano begins with a poem about, and dedication to, her late father and still-living mother. It then goes into a short story she wrote about an experience with bullying in the eighth grade of school to a story about being saved by a guardian angel when the story's character is in her mid 30's to another short story about a little boy who is abandoned by his mother when she starts dating a man who doesn't like children to yet another short story about how the author and her husband of 16 years met and fell in love to yet another short story about Christmas with her grandmother...The author shares ten of her short stories and two of her poems with you. An interesting read in which you may want to guess which of the short stories are fiction or fact. Rosanne's next book is titled 'Escape & Redemption,' but it will be a crime fiction novel that will start off where this book leaves off with her short story titled "From Bags to Riches".
