Two Scholars Who Speak the Truth -- in Love

Living in a frightening world where religious extremists kill innocent people in the name of God, you pray that someone, somewhere, will have the courage to step forward, stop the hatred, and lead us on the path to reconciliation. "Encountering Jesus--Encountering Judaism" represents an inspirational joint effort on the subject of Catholic-Jewish dialogue by two of the greatest thinkers of our times. It should be no surprise to discover between the pages of this small but powerful book that Karl Rahner and Pinchas Lapide had fundamental faith differences that would never change. What changes most dramatically in this intense, inter-religious dialogue is the reader's heart, as one begins to grasp and respect more fully the holiness of the other. It is a scholarly work and a tremendous achievement.
