Title The rise and fall of interfaith dialogue.
Host Item Commentary 83,5 (1987) 50-55
Description After the Holocaust, Christian guilt and the Jews' desire for acceptance led to an increase in interfaith dialogue. Sketches repercussions in Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish circles, particularly in the U.S. The "Nostra Aetate" declaration was a disappointment since it continued to imply that Judaism was superseded by Christianity. The Pope's Lenten sermon in 1966, contradicting the declaration, various attempts at missionizing, and the failure of Christian partners in dialogue to support Israel in 1967 and in 1982, led to further disillusionment. Contends that the main barrier to dialogue and to Vatican recognition of Israel is the centrality of anti-Judaism in Christian theology.

Nature: The Language of Love in the Ancient World

The Bible contains many accounts of relationships between men and women: stable marriages, love at first sight, acts of violence and betrayal, as well as contempt and anger. Yet, somewhat surprisingly, this wide emotional range is conveyed with very little sensory or emotional elaboration. Expressi
