The Jewish editor of this volume affirms that Jews and Christians engaged in dialogue today are not only aware of the profound differences between the two religions but also, that ""they have learned to take these differences seriously, and, what is perhaps even more important, they have learned to respect them and even to value them."" The distinguished contributors to this volume include, on the Jewish side, Jacob Argus, Geoffrey Wigoder, Michael Cook and Richard Saran, and, on the Christian side, George Buchanan, Martin Cunz and Clemens Thoma.
