Many studies written about the Jewish-Christian relationship are primarily historical overviews that focus on the Jewish background of Christianity, the separation of Christianity from Judiasm, or the medieval disputations between the two faiths. This book is one of the first studies to examine the relationship from a philosophical and theological viewpoint. Carefully drawing on Jewish classical sources, Novak argues that there is actual justification for the new relationship between Judaism and Christianity from within Jewish religious tradition. He demonstrates that this new relationship is

Why would an American ethnic group use racist terms, such as "JAP", "the Jewish prince’, and the "ghetto girl", to describe itself? In her history of Jewish acculturation during the twentieth century, Riv-Ellen Press addresses this compelling question as she observes how deeply anti-Semitic stereotypes--particularly gender stereotypes--infuse Jewish men’s and women’s views of one another.
