Abstract
JEWISH-CHRISTIAN DIALOGUE: A JEWISH JUSTIFICATION. By David Novak. New York: Oxford University Press, 1989. Pp. xiii, 194. $24.95. ISBN: 0-19-505084-3.
David Novak's "philosophically formulated theological argument for Jewish-Christian dialogue" (p. ix) seeks a "common border" between the two monotheisms which constitute the main story line of Western religion. And he finds it, in that old American standard, the Judeo-Christian ethic. I recommend Novak's rigorously argued, learned, and insightful book to readers of all faiths, and to those of no faith at all. I propose to support that recommendation by describing precisely its important and truly singular aspiration.
