An important analysis of the ethics of proclaiming the Christian faith and the implications for the theology of Jewish-Christian relations. This important book poses the question of whether Christian proclamation can be made ethically safe for the Jewish neighbour. Boesel assesses two major approaches to a Christian theology of Judaism - those exemplified by Rosemary Radford Ruether and Karl Barth. This book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of systematics, ethics, and homiletics at the intersection of Jewish-Christian relations.
'Chris Boesel's fairly recent book undertakes a renewed contemplation of Jewish and Christian relations, meriting a serious look at the two main culprits historically responsible for Christian imperialism: anti-Judaism and supersessionism. ... This is a provocative - though perhaps, in the end, slightly traditional - claim to make, though it is one that certainly deserves its retelling in a contemporary context.' -- C. Dickinson * Louvain Journal of Theological and Canonical Studies Vol. 88 (1), September 2012 *
