About this Item

From the flap: "These essays demonstrate that Jews and Christians can speak together about what they hold in common, and the differences they value, in a climate of mutual respect and in a spirit of esteem and affection." The book itself has only slight bumping on the foot of the spine, and a small gap in the pages near the binding from some small item being smashed inside. The jacket has somewhat curled edges, and a fold inside the front flap. --- We are a Benedictine Monastery/Seminary Library; thank you for your support.
