After the Evil Christianity and Judaism in the Shadow of the Holocaust

Harries, Richard

After the Evil Christianity and Judaism in the Shadow of the Holocaust Richard Harries - U.S.A. Oxford University Press 2003 - 239tr. hardcover, illustrations 22cm

The evil of the holocaust demands a radical rethink of the traditional Christian understanding of Judaism. This does not mean jettisoning Christianity's deepest convictions in order to make it conform to Judaism. Rather, Richard Harries develops the work of recent Jewish scholarship to discern resonances between central Christian and Jewish beliefs... In the light of this the author maintains--controversially --that Christians should not be trying to convert Jews to Christianity. Rather Jews and Christians should stand together and build on the great amount they have in common to work together for a better world.
