Judaism, Christianity, and Liberation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781606082348)

This collection of original essays addresses a new and controversial avenue for Jewish-Christian dialogue: the project of liberation theology. While some Jews have welcomed the work of Latin American liberation theologians, others have been critical--both of Christian liberation theology, its treatment of Jewish history and scripture, and of any project of Jewish liberation theology. This dialogue has prompted Latin American liberation theologians to develop in turn their own responses to such issues as the state of Israel, the Palestinian question, the approach to the Hebrew Bible, the meaning of the Holocaust, the legacy of anti-Semitism, and the problem of empowerment in both Christian and Jewish history. Contributors: Judd Kruger Levingston, Marc H. Ellis, Richard L. Rubenstein, Arthur Waskow, Michael Lerner, Rosemary Radford Ruether, Leonardo Boff, Pablo Richard, Julio de Santa Ana, Phyllis B. Taylor, Dorothee Solle, and Norman Solomon
