description: The People of God Several factors make this a compelling and topical The anti-Jewish sentiments that can still disfigure much Christian teaching and writing The baffling fate and often shocking politics of the State of Israel in recent years and months The faltering progress towards ecumenical unity of Jews and Christians The need for a united witness to Jesus as Jew and as Son of God Markus Barth, Professor of New Testament in the University of Basel, combines passion and scholarship in this summons to a recognition of the brotherhood of Jews and Christians. He discusses with authority both the current theological climate and the biblical basis-in particular, the writings of Paul-on which a true doctrine of the 'People of God' should be built; and he calls for a new relationship characterized by frank and honest criticism, but especially by fraternal love.
