Synopsis

This Dictionary brings together valuable discussions of the major theological and religious topics that must be faced by all who take part in the faith-dialogue between Jews and Christians. Each topic is treated in two separate essays, one by a Christian scholar and one by a Jewish scholar. In this way the major points of agreement and the decisive differences stand out clearly. This is a handy, quick-reference book for both Christians and Jews, written in a straightforward and clear manner, which will help everyone become better acquainted with the key issues involved in the relationship between Judaism and Christianity as sister faiths in the one God. The book Afterlife, Antisemitism, the Bible, Christ, Church, Covenant, Creation, Dogma, Election, Eschatology, Exile, Faith, God, Holiness, Ideology, Israel, Jewish-Christian Dialogue, Justice, Law, Love, Martyrdom, Messiah, Mission, Personhood, Pharisees, Prayer, Repentance, Revelation, Righteousness, Sacrament, Salvation, Sin, Tradition, & Universalism.
