| Summary: | To be sure, the relationship between Christians and Jews is deeply incommensurate, because of the long history of Christian domination and Jewish victimization. Having said that with all its heavy cost, it is important that in a world of profanation, Jews and Christians are twinned together not only in suffering and in memory, but also in hope. The deepest impulses of Judaism and Christianity are fully shared. This common hope is an urgent and precious resource in a world bent on its own death and destruction. This hope resists idolatry and makes neighborliness an urgent possibility. |
