| Summary: | The words “thorny,” “fragile,” and “complex” are all apt descriptions for the relationship between evangelical Christians and Jews over the last two centuries. Yaakov Ariel, author of this lucid, well-documented work and Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, is an experienced researcher in the field of Jewish thought and evangelical Christianity. The purpose of the present volume is to demonstrate how—despite its ups and downs and its common yet clashing agendas—this unusual relationship of two different communities is sustained., Through serious historical research, Ariel sheds considerable light on one of the most perplexing and uneasy modern interfaith relationships: the evangelical–Jewish encounter. |
