Beskrivning

Over fifty years after the Holocaust, Marion Wyse explores interfaith dialogue between the Jewish and Christian communities and attempts to evaluate what goals these communities have reached and where they now stand. While many painful issues have been addressed and Jewish-Christian dialogue have achieved a solid respect for each other, the but basic disagreement over the Christian designation of Jesus as the Jewish messiah still stands. Theologians have suggested varying approaches but none convince both partners, so this work employs William James' radical empirical method to show that the original Jewish messianic concept, the Christian shift, and the Jewish repudiation of the shift, can each be seen as valid faith variants.

Recensioner i media

"Wyse's explorations, beginning post-Shoah and retracing the steps backward into history to recover the idea of the messianic concept, hopefully to bring about future redemption and the reign of God, about which Jesus spoke and which Wyse holds out as the highest ideal for both religions, are extremely important." -- Libby Garshowitz, University of Toronto, Canada, published in the Journal of Ecumenical Studies
