Christian-Jewish relations have varied throughout the centuries; at times they have been peaceful with a semblance of mutual understanding, but occasionally these relations have been ones of tension, often involving recrimination and even violence. In Christian-Jewish Relations through the Centuries, the contributors address a number of major questions which have been at the heart and the periphery of these tenuous relations through the years. This important discussion begins with the emerging first-century Church as it began to define itself in terms of Judaism, then traces this relationship through the intervening years, including modern issues regarding anti-Semitism and the Holocaust. In its own way, this book becomes a part of the ongoing dialogue, tackling sensitive yet vital topics from a variety of approaches and perspectives.
