American Jews live in a predominantly Christian society. Jews have many questions about Christianity but have a hard time getting objective answers. Jews and Christians in dialogue often use the same words without realizing that they have a different meaning in each religion. Rabbi Wylen, a devoted Jew with a positive view of Christianity and a passion for interfaith understanding, responds to the questions that members of his congregation and classes are always asking, in a way that Jews can understand. This book will also be of interest to Christians who want to know how Christianity appears when viewed through Jewish eyes. Jews and Christians will each learn more about their own religion while learning to appreciate the other. Why are there so many Christians and so few Jews? Has the existence of Christianity been good or bad for the Jews? How can anyone be an antiSemite when Jesus was Jewish? Do Christians really believe that Jesus, our Jewish brother, is God? What does Christ mean? What does Messiah mean to Christians and Jews? What do Christians and Jews believe about Heaven and Hell, the end times and the afterlife? What does each religion teach about Love and Forgiveness? How have Christians and Jews reconciled since the Holocaust? These are some of the questions answered in this book.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
