Summary

Christ Jesus and the Jewish People Today explore the historical, biblical, christological, trinitarian, and ecclesiological dimensions of this crucial question: ôHow might we Christians in our time reaffirm our faith claim that Jesus Christ is the Savior of all humanity, even as we affirm the Jewish people's covenantal life with Cod?ö This volume is the result of a transatlantic collaboration among Boston College, Catholic Theological Union, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Lund University, Pontifical Gregorian University, and Saint Joseph's University.
