Risking Proclamation, Respecting Difference : Christian Faith, Imperialistic Discourse, and Abraham

An important analysis of the ethics of proclaiming the Christian faith and the implications for the theology of Jewish-Christian relations. This important book poses the question of whether Christian proclamation can be made ethically safe for the Jewish neighbour. Boesel assesses two major approaches to a Christian theology of Judaism - those exemplified by Rosemary Radford Ruether and Karl Barth. This book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of systematics, ethics, and homiletics at the intersection of Jewish-Christian relations.
