Description
Covenant and Hope centers around two main themes in Jewish-Christian dialogue: "e;Covenant, Mission, and Relation to the Other"e; and "e;Hope and Responsibility for the Human Future."e; In the first section scholars from both faiths analyze the idea of covenant, how it determines their religious commitments, behavior, and theology, and how their covenantal theology shapes their relations with people outside their religious communities. The second section focuses on the foundation for religious hope, how belief in the future can be nourished, and on our practical and philosophic responsibility to work for a better human future.
