Overview

By means of more than one hundred probing questions that were most frequently put to the authors over three decades of ministry in the civilian and military community, the basic concepts of Judaism are examined and analyzed from every point of view. Where there are differences of opinion among Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform thinkers, the viewpoint of each is fully and impartially presented. Where there are differences or similarities in belief regarding the validity of Christian doctrines, these, too, are honestly presented and examined. This title, originally published in 1979, is available on-demand only.
