Publisher's Synopsis
In the last 50 years, there has been a transformation in the theology and the practice of Christian-Jewish relations. Slowly and sometimes painfully, humanity is learning to face up to the horrors of the Holocaust, the shameful legacy of anti-semitism, and the teaching of contempt for all things Jewish in much of the Church's history. More positively, Christians are beginning to recognize the Jewishness of Jesus and the New Testament, the continuing vitality of Judaism today, and the positive opportunities that exist for friendship and partnership with Jewish people. This report traces the emerging consensus on all these issues within the Church of England.
