Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"This volume deepens the conversation between Jesuits and Jews as the Society of Jesus acknowledges its history-both its pride in Ignatius' stance and the need for contrition for its antisemetic role in the years that followed." -Shofar "The ten papers in this volume were prepared for the Third International Colloquium of Jesuits in Jewish-Christian Dialogue held in 2005 at Zul, Switzerland. -New Testaments Abstracts "For the past several years, members of the Society of Jesus have been studying together and meeting with Jewish guests to explore the relationship between Jesuits and Jews both historically and theologically. Partially this involves a reckoning with the past denigration of Jews, but it also generates profound spiritual enrichment for those involved. In the volume are collected insightful essays about this exciting undertaking, which consider biblical, historical, and theological topics. Everyone interested in Christian-Jewish relations will be intrigued by this engagement with the more focused subject of Jesuit-Jewish relations." -- -Philip A. Cunningham Center for Christian-Jewish Learning at Boston College "Presents a cadre of talented Jesuit thinkers addressing a range of Jewish questions with familiarity and depth." -- -Peter Zaas Siena College "This is a strong collection of individual essays that will prove useful to theological educators and dialogue participants." -Catholic Library World
