Sacred Dissonance is a thought-provoking study exploring the distinctions between religious identities and cultural boundaries of Jews and Christians. Opposing the notion that all faiths are the same, Anthony Le Donne (a New Testament scholar) and Larry Behrendt (a Jewish lawyer) offer introspective essays on topics such as neighborhood relations, hospitality, and the Holocaust―and provide a model for addressing a difficult past and challenging present.
Anthony Le Donne is the executive editor of the Journal for the Study of the Historical Jesus and the author of several books and articles. He is associate professor of New Testament at United Theological Seminary.
Larry Behrendt is a specialist in interreligious dialogue with specific emphasis on Jewish-Christian relations. His blog, jewishchristianintersections.com, is uniquely devoted to this topic. Larry has degrees from the University of California and Georgetown University.
