| Summary: | In the past decades the Catholic Church and many Christian denominations have profoundly reassessed their understanding of the Jewish people, underlining the permanence of the "Old Covenant" and their ongoing role in salvation history.

In a programmatic way it explores this renewal in ecclesiology (who are the "people of God"?), sacramental theology (in what "people of God" do the sacraments of initiation introduce the faithful), Christology and soteriology (Christ makes Gentiles into "children of Abraham") and the doctrine of God (is the "God of Israel" Jesus prayed to the "whole Trinity" or the Father?). |
