The crucial issue in the Church's lively dialogue with Judaism today is thee conviction that the Jewish religion is not "extrinsic" but "intrinsic" to Christianity. One clear example of this is that Christian forms of worship developed from the Jewish liturgy- and our liturgies interact spiritually and historically even today!
There exists a profound relationship between Christians and Jews not shared with any other religion.
This book is both an extended meditation on this spiritual bond, and at the same time a very practical handbook for understanding how Christian liturgy began. Gathered in a handy format, this series of articles treats both the ancient Jewish roots of Christian liturgy and a contemporary Jewish-Christian perspective on life, marriage and death, Sabbath and Sunday, and the problems of rooting out the lingering elements of anti-Judaism within the Christian liturgy itself. The Jewish Root’s of Christian Liturgy will be on invaluable volume for anyone interested in Jewish-Christian dialogue, especially pastors, parish liturgical commissions, teachers, and adult educators.
