Description and Table of Contents
Description
Based on the Sherman Lectures delivered at Manchester University in November 1987, this book discusses Jewish-Christian dialogue and the gap that has arisen between "non-Aryan" Jews doomed to a choiceless death and "Aryan" Christians given a choice between acquiescing in their "Aryan" designation and rejecting it, during the decade 1935-1945. The Holocaust may have brought Jews and Christians closer together, it has also set them further apart. However, with regard to their bible - for Jews, their Ta'nach; for Christians, their Old and New Testament - Jews and Christians are, as it were, in the same boat. This book aims to be a beginning to the narrowing of the gap between Jews and Christians.
