| Résumé: | When Buber and Rosenzweig conceived their insights about the nature of the relations between Judaism and Christianity, some 80 years ago, the term "interfaith theology" did not exist, yet they can be considered as precursors to this new field in theology that made its first steps in the past two decades in Jewish and Christian scholarship. In the present account I suggest reconsidering this aspect, among others, in Buber and Rosenzweig's thought, as a potential contribution to a possible solution to the tension between culture and religion in modernity, which radicalized in the last decades in the form of religious and secular extremism. It is not only their unique perception of revelation that creates a new religious language but also their pioneering analysis of religious zealotry as a theological defect (rather than a political problem). That is my main observation: that the similarities between their dialogical approach to Christianity to that of a certain Christian scholarly trend that appeared shortly after them, signifies, in my view, the beginning of a new age in relations between the two religions, which can serve as a model for dealing with ideological conflicts in our age. |
