JEWS & CHRISTIANS A Troubled Family Softcover book by Walter Harrelson & Randall M. Falk Over 205 pages Third Printing 1991 Copyright © 1990 by Abingdon Press " This eye-opening dialogue between a rabbi and a Christian scholar challenges Jews and Christians to examine their misconceptions and prejudices about each other's faith. Here a Christian and a Jew stand on common ground. Rather than simply interpreting their own respective heritages, each seeks to present his own insights into the other's religious community. Topics discussed in the volume include Scriptures, God concepts, Jesus, the Holocaust, election, covenant, and mission. Jews and Christians is a living dialogue of faith designed to foster mutual understanding and respect between the two religions.
