Synopsis

Explores the essential distinctions between religious identities and the cultural boundaries between Jews and Christians. Co-authored by colleagues deeply committed to their respective faithsone a Jewish lawyer, one a Christian New Testament scholarthis book stands in opposition to the notion that all religions are basically the same, an idea commonly put forward in many secular circles or among those who follow personally appointed folkways rather than traditional religions. Through deeply introspective essays on topics as personal as neighbourhood relations and hospitality, and as difficult and sweeping as the Holocaust, Sacred Dissonance challenges the notion that a passive and self-contained approach to religious distinction will bring about peaceful coexistence. In the course of exploring the ways in which Jews and Christians can speak to one another, Le Donne and Behrendt show that Christianity can become a pro-Jewish religion, Judaism can become a pro-Christian religion, and communities of faith can open space for others, rather than turning them away, even without breaking down the differences between them.|Explores the essential distinctions between religious identities and the cultural boundaries between Jews and Christians.
