Summary: | Protestant missions to the Jews in the past were based upon a theological imperialism which would not recognize Judaism as anything but a superseded or fossilized relic. The Jewish people's survival through the Holocaust and their rebirth as an independent nation have raised excruciating questions for Christians, as a result of which there has been a re-evaluation of Christianity's relationship to Judaism. The Christian mission to the Jews has come to an end, and in its place must come dialogue and a relationship based upon mutual trust and respect. |
