"The religious doctrine of traditional Judaism entails the acceptance of the nationhood of the Jewish..." — David Novak

During the Middle Ages, Jews were members of a semi-independent polity within a larger polity.

The Jewish tradition presents itself as the greatest revelation of God's truth that can be known in the world. That is why we call ourselves 'the chosen people.' It is not that we choose ourselves. It means that we have been elected by God and given the Torah.

Christians and Jews alike are the new exiles of the contemporary world, struggling with how to sing the Lord's song in a strange land.

A fully positive relationship between Christians and Jews is one that would elide all differences.
