This book inquires as to whether theological dialogue between Christians and Jews is possible, not only in itself but also as regards the emergence of communities of Messianic Judaism. In light of David Novak's insights, Matthew Levering proposes that Christian theological responses to supersessionism need to preserve both the Church's development of doctrine and Rabbinic Judaism's ability to define its own boundaries. The book undertakes constructive philosophical theology in dialogue with Novak. Exploring the interrelated doctrines of divine providence/theonomy, the image of God, and natural law, Levering places Novak's work in conversation especially with Thomas Aquinas, whose approach fosters a rich dialogue with Novak's broadly Maimonidean perspective. It focuses upon the relationship of human beings to the Creator, with attention to the philosophical entailments of Jewish and Christian covenantal commitments, aiming to spell out what true freedom involves. It concludes by asking whether Christians and Jews would do better to bracket our covenantal commitments in pursuing such wisdom.Drawing upon Novak's work, the author argues that in the face of suffering and death, God's covenantal election makes possible hope, lacking which the quest for wisdom runs aground.

"In this important book, Matthew Levering makes an all too unusual type of contribution to the relationship between Jews and Christians: he offers a sustained theological engagement with one of the outstanding Jewish thinkers of our time. Levering makes no attempt to minimize the matters over which Jews and Christians are bound to differ. Yet he shows how much Christians can learn from a Jewish theologian and philosopher like David Novak - and how much everyone has to gain from treating the relationship between the Church and the Jewish people as above all a theological question, and not only a moral and political problem." - Bruce Marshall, Professor of Historical Theology, Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, USA
