 | The Chosen People in an Almost Chosen Nation by Richard John Neuhaus
This important volume explores the state of contemporary Jewish life and the unprecedented opportunity for meaningful Jewish-Christian dialogue that America's unique cultural context presents. Selected from the pages of First Things and written by recognized authors - almost all of whom are Jewish - the essays and commentaries gathered here take up the broad array of viewpoints, questions, and disputes that comprise the story of Judaism in America. Philosophy, law, psychology, history, anti-Semitism, proselytism, intermarriage, public policy, the State of Israel, and whether Christians can be trusted - these and other subjects are addressed in lively, diverse, and frequently provocative ways. Especially valuable are two concluding documents on Jewish-Christian dialogue, one a Jewish statement on Christians and Christianity, the other a reflection on Christians, Jews, and anti-Semitism by the editors of First Things. For Christian readers, this book will be an enlightening introduction to the distinctive Jewish world. For Jewish readers, this book is an invitation to reflect thoughtfully on the ongoing experience of living as a chosen people in ?an almost chosen nation.? AUTHOR: Richard John Neuhaus
