About this title

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 covers: 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. Leon Klenicki is associate director of the Department of Interfaith Affairs of the Anti-Defamation League; professor of Jewish theology at Immaculate Conception Seminary, Mahwah, New Jersey; editor of 'The Passover Celebration', and co-editor of 'Spirituality and Prayer: Jewish and Christian Understandings'. Geoffrey Wigoder is a member of the Institute of Contemporary Jewry at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem; editor-in-chief of the 'Encyclopedia Judaica'; and vice-chairman of the Israel Interfaith Organization in Jerusalem.
