Jewish-Christian relations highlighted
in latest Current Dialogue
29 November 2016
At the close of the 50th year since
promulgation of Vatican II’s declaration on Christian relations with
other religions, relations between Christians and Jews, and between
Christians and Muslims, are freshly explored in the just-released issue
of Current Dialogue.
The publication, now in its 58th issue, is compiled and edited by the World Council of Churches (WCC) programme on Interreligious Dialogue and Cooperation.
The issue features a dozen Christian and Jewish theologians
reflecting on the state of Jewish-Christian relations today and whether
there exists a “special relationship” between the two religious
traditions. In a related feature, Lawrence H. Schiffman writes on “what
Jewish-Christian relations in antiquity can teach us today.”
Also spotlighted are reports on Christian and Muslim women’s efforts
at peacebuilding and reflections on ongoing efforts to understand the
connections of religion and violence. The latter theme constitutes a
specific focus of the WCC’s Pilgrimage of Justice and Peace in 2016 and
2017 and received plenary attention at the WCC’s central committee last
June in Trondheim, Norway.
