About this ebook
The People of God
Several factors make this a compelling and topical book:
- The anti-Jewish sentiments that can still disfigure much Christian teaching and writing
- The baffling fate and often shocking politics of the State of Israel in recent years and months
- The faltering progress towards ecumenical unity of Jews and Christians
- The need for a united witness to Jesus as Jew and as Son of God
Markus Barth, Professor of New Testament in the University of Basel, combines passion and scholarship in this summons to a recognition of the brotherhood of Jews and Christians. He discusses with authority both the current theological climate and the biblical basis--in particular, the writings of Paul--on which a true doctrine of the 'People of God' should be built; and he calls for a new relationship characterized by frank and honest criticism, but especially by fraternal love.
