The Bond: A Theological Reflection on the Covenantal Relation of Christians and Jews, and Its Bearing on the Crisis of Modernity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798276352794)

For a very long part of their history, Christians were commonly taught that the New Covenant had replaced the Covenant of the Jews. By the time of the Second Vatican Council, this teaching was fading from view as a new understanding arose, effectively affirming that the Covenant of the Jews is in fact living and valid. This shift concerns not a peripheral dimension of Christian self-understanding, but a matter of the very origins of Christianity, and therefore, of its essential character. The little book you find here aims to suggest the theological extent, depth, and consequences of that shift as Christians and Jews find themselves bound together in the midst of the crisis of the West, the civilization which they have so profoundly influenced, by which they are now threatened, and in the face of which they are called to stand and respond.
