Overview
CHRISTIANITY AFTER AUSCHWITZ examines those burning issues which must be candidly addressed by all who seek Jewish-Christian amity in the new millennium. These include anti-Semitism, the Holocaust and “historical revisionism,” Zionism and the State of Israel, and Jewish concerns regarding assimilation, intermarriage, and Christian missionary activities in Israel and abroad. In the interest of honest dialogue, it also examines the Messianic hope and what has been called “the myth of the Jewish-Christian tradition.”ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
