Christian-Jewish Relations through the Centuries
Christians and Jews have had diverse relations throughout the centuries: sometimes peaceful, other times violent. Stanley Porter and Brook Pearson, along with a host of contributors, have addressed major issues which have penetrated the heart of this tenuous relationship. Christian-Jewish Relations through the Centuries focuses on the emerging Church’s connection to Judaism, to their parting of ways, their dichotomous cultures during the Medieval Period, to their relations in the modern world. The authors confront these topics with sensitivity and dignity.
