Has God Only One Blessing? - Judaism As a Source of Christian Self-Understanding

Challenges readers to reflect on the conception of Judaism implicit in our understanding of Christianity by raising awareness of our often negative assessment of Judaism.

Summary

This book challenges Christians to re-examine their traditional belief that Christianity has fulfilled and therefore replaced Judaism. It also details the anti-Jewish bias in history, literature and liturgy, yet does it without reducing such attitudes to simplistic hate.
