| Summary: | John Connelly's lucid new work encapsulates the tensions underlying the present Catholic theological approach to the interrelationship of Jews and Christians. Centuries of Church teaching supported a relatively stable approach by the institutional Church. The racist-inspired Holocaust underscored the deficiencies of the traditional approach. The present data-driven work shows how discerning Catholic scholars and other authorities overcame long-standing approaches “to do” theology in the light of new times., Tensions survive, of course. Recently, for example, American bishops asserted that Catholics look forward to the inclusion of the entire “people of Israel” into the Church. |
