Description: "In God's design," declares the author, "Israel represents all mankind. Israel is his witness. The dialogue of Israel and its Lord is the story of every man, of every one of us." While a break between Jews and Christians developed in the early days of Christianity, it is the earnest belief of Catholics that this break will some day be mended. The author first stresses the theological and historical links between the Church and Judaism. Later, he outlines the history of the Jews, explains Judaism's main doctrines, and describes Jewish worship and prayer. A concluding section studies mystical trends in Judaism.
Notes: Includes bibliography.
