The authors of this volume follow the tracks of the darker side of the Reformation and study the relationship with Judaism based on Lutheran theology and on a sense of “dignity of difference” (Jonathan Sacks).To the present day Luther´s antisemitic polemics have proved to be a burden to the Lutheran Churches. In the media his writings have not been repelled but rather taken up. That is reason enough for members of the Protestant-Lutheran Churches to break with some of the basics of their own church and seek solutions for facing this problem. The authors of this collection point out the positive consideration given modern Judaism in Protestant teachings as a near cousin to its own foundations, particularly at the point at which it would appear to be most difficult to sustain: in dogmatics.

Leseproben

This is an attempt of determining the Church’s relation to Judaism on a Lutheran theological basis. In order to understand each other there is no need to belong to the same Covenant; rather, a peaceful parallelism between the Sinai Covenant and the New Covenant is being explored. 'Being siblings' (Geschwisterlichkeit) includes what Jonathan Sacks called the 'dignity of difference'. In relation to reformed churches and their claim to be Israel, this book advocates an ecumenical tolerance of 'reconciled diversity'.>
