Seeds of Reconciliation: Essays on Jewish-Christian Understanding

In 1974, the Vatican's Nostra Aetate (no. 4) admitted that "to tell the truth, such relations as there have been between Jews and Christians have scarcely ever risen above the level of monologue" and asserted that "from now on, real dialogue must be established." Since then, Jewish-Christian dialogue has proceeded on unprecedented levels. Yet difficult problems remain, and progress has been all too meager.In this volume, Sr. Hargrove has gathered the most important articles, written by the world's leaders in Jewish-Christian dialogue. This work is intended to spur a renewed effort by drawing into a single volume summaries of progress that has been made and outlines of the difficulties which future dialogue must address.Contributing authors include: Antonio Ammassari, Gregory Baum, Carmine DiSante, Marcel Jacques Dubois, Renzo Fabris, Eugene J. Fisher, Albert H. Friedlander, Lawrence Frizzell, Katharine T. Hargrove, Leon Klenicki, Jacob Neusner, W. Gunther Plaut,! and Michael Wyschogrod
