| Summary: | In his thoughtful “Theological Assessment” of the Cape Town Commitment, Robert J. Schreiter, C.PP.S., writes, “The question of the relation of God's covenant with the Jews and God's salvific activity in Christ, treated explicitly at Manila (A.3), does not reappear at Cape Town” (IBMR 35 [April 2011]: 90).His statement was based on a draft of the document sent to him, not the final version of the Cape Town Commitment, which was published in the same issue of the IBMR (pp. 59–80). In the published version, the issue does appear quite explicitly in section IIB.1:We affirm that whereas the Jewish people were not strangers to the covenants and promises of God, in the way that Paul describes the Gentiles, they still stand in need of reconciliation to God through the Messiah Jesus. There is no difference, said Paul, between Jew and Gentile in sin; neither is there any difference in salvation. Only in and through the cross can both have access to God the Father through the one Spirit.We continue, therefore, strongly to affirm the need for the whole Church to share the good news of Jesus as Messiah, Lord and Saviour with Jewish people. And in the spirit of Romans 14–15, we urge Gentile believers to accept, encourage and pray for Messianic Jewish believers, in their witness among their own people.The editors regret the error. |
