A Virtuous Path to GOD FINDING INFINITE GOD IN JEWISH-CHRISTIAN DIALOGUE Behold I am the LORD, the GOD of all flesh, Is anything too wondrous for Me? Jeremiah, Nevi'im [Prophets] - 32:27 The thought-provoking, ageless question above from GOD also answers every age of humanity. Now, in the third decade of our twenty-first Century, today's expanding communication marvels while accelerating to future enterprises often become mindfully absent of the Godly source driving their intellectual capacity. Jewish-Christian interreligious dialogue travels those same highways of mind--although at times hampered by prejudice, depravity, and indifference. This theological work argues and advocates a best position for successful dialogue between two faiths grappling with the grave injustices and blood-stained persecutions of an incomprehensible, unconscionable history that can only be resolved by GOD. In recounting horrific facts from Holocaust, Inquisition, and other atrocities marring the beautiful life GOD intended, these events had occurred even after meaningful Divine Prophetic Word warned of grave outcomes. And, in consequence, GOD's omnipotence in rescuing His people is evidenced throughout history. Somehow, evil never prevailed. The Scriptures remind us to seek and trust our loving Creator Who has faithfully kept His Covenants beyond space and time. Such Divine reminders seed hope and fortitude to guard our rights and religion in this embattled world struggling against politically-spate doctrines and limited laws failing race and freedom. Tragically, even in our new century, massacres and mayhem borne out of evil persist, afflicting our Churches, Synagogues, and homes. Still, while at times disharmony quells the joy of living, there is no greater force or wonder than Infinite GOD. Success in Jewish-Christian dialogue, just as good deeds for interfaith relations, requires abiding respect for fellow humanity and a loving, non-discriminating heart. GOD's markers and signposts all lead to purposeful truth: the trilateral pure, virtuous, and charitable road is the only way--beyond an otherwise dark, impious world--into a luminous one: a realm where humanity may share joyful dialogue and divinely-planned spiritual destiny. Ageless, immutable Ten Commandments from GOD, forged with basic precepts unchanged and following His first-nurturing Seven Noahide Laws, ground and inspire what religious scholars consider for valid communication, essential for interreligious dialogue. Remarkably, the Noahide Laws were defined as the bedrock of society by a Joint Resolution of the U.S. Congress on March 21, 1991 [see Preface, section on The Rainbow Covenant]. GOD's sacred, scriptural truths, proclaimed by His prophets, are resounded by heavenly-minded theologians qualified to teach His Word. The researched, testimonial criteria given within this work yield beneficial recommendations for a best, heavenly-directed path for finding GOD in harmonious dialogue. Six eminent, contemporary theologians interviewed herein, assembled equally from Jewish and Christian communities, are joined with a renowned hierarchy of blessing and inspiration who nobly illuminate the way. These virtuous champions who profess GOD's eternal truth while valiantly identifying winding disparities and dissidence contrary to His intended Plan, acknowledge and communicate--in their own humble and human understanding--that, indeed, nothing is too wondrous for GOD.
Beyond the Walls

Joseph Palmisano explores the interreligious significance of empathy for Jewish-Christian understanding. Drawing on the writings of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel (1907-1972) and Edith Stein (1891-1942), he develops a phenomenological category of empathy defined as a way of ''re-membering'' oneself with the religious other. Palmisano follows Heschel's and Stein's personal and spiritual journeys through the darkest years of Nazi Germany. He shows that Heschel's call to Christian interlocutors for a return to God is an ecumenical call to humanity to embrace perceived others: a call to live life as a response to God's pathos. This call finds a prophetic answer in Edith Stein's witness of empathy with regard to the Holocaust. Stein, a Catholic, creates a dialectical bridge with the Jewish 'other,' neither distancing herself nor denying her Jewish roots. Stein's simultaneously Jewish and Christian fidelity is a model for interreligious relations. It is also a challenge to Catholics to remember their religion's Jewish heritage through new categories of witnessing and belonging with others. Beyond the Walls is a critical contribution to the fostering of interreligious understanding, offering both a model of the ideal Jewish-Christian relationship in Heschel and Stein and criteria with which to evaluate contemporary initiatives and controversies concerning interreligious dialogue.
