Covenant and World Religions - Irving Greenberg, Jonathan Sacks, and the Quest for Orthodox Pluralism

This book presents the theological, moral, and social views of two of the most important Orthodox Jewish voices to have advocated change in how Judaism sees world religions. It explores the significance of covenant for both thinkers, and how they adapt it to point the way forward, in a spirit of dialogue.
