First sentence: IN ACCOUNTING for my commitment to Orthodox Judaism, the first consideration that comes to my mind is that I was raised in a fairly Orthodox home and that my education, first in Germany and then here, was imparted in schools that devoted at least as much effort to Torah subjects as to secular ones.
Description: "Abraham's Promise presents a selection of important writings by noted Jewish philosopher-theologian Michael Wyschogrod, who is widely admired for his singular contributions to Jewish-Christian relations. Including several pieces never published before, this reader aptly captures the broad scope of Wyschogrod's work on Judaism and the Jewish-Christian encounter, collecting seminal essays, articles, and reviews that address such topics as the God of Abraham and the God of philosophy, sin and atonement, Judaism and the land, the Six Day War, Paul on Jews and Gentiles, and the theology of Karl Barth. An introductory essay by editor R. Kendall Soulen sets Wyschogrod's career and writings in context."--BOOK JACKET.
