Présentation de l'éditeur

Covenant and Hope centres around two main themes in Jewish-Christian dialogue: 'Covenant, Mission, and Relation to the Other' and 'Hope and Responsibility for the Human Future.' In the first section scholars from both faiths analyse the idea of covenant: how it determines their religious commitments, behaviour, and theology, and how their convenantal 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 philosphic responsibility to work for a better human future. Contributors include Miroslav Volf, David Novak, Deborah Weissman and Douglas Knight.
