In recent decades many Christian leaders have sought to overcome
the age-old tradition of hostility to Judaism. At the center of
these efforts are revised theological understandings of Christian
origins, of the New Testament, and of relations between Jews and
Christians from antiquity to the present. This lecture will focus
on the theological dimensions both of the traditional conflict and
of recent efforts to move beyond it and to shape healthy relations
for the present and future.
