Covenant and the People of God

""Few scholars have had more impact than Mark Kinzer. This extraordinary volume is more than a festschrift; it is a testimony to a vision and to its spiritual fruitfulness, rooted in deep faith. An ever-gracious interlocutor and a brilliant and creative thinker, Mark Kinzer has charted a path worthy of the utmost attention."" --Matthew Levering, Chair of Theology, Mundelein Seminary ""Mark Kinzer has been a mentor and dialogue partner for many theologians of different religious affiliations wrestling with questions arising from the fact that Christ has called 'together a people made up of Jew and gentile' (Lumen Gentium §9). This festschrift of essays centering on Kinzer's vision of bilateral ecclesiology and the mission and witness of Jews in the church by an all-star cast of twenty-four scholars will be a catalyst to further reflection."" --Lawrence Feingold, Professor of Theology, Kenrick-Glennon Seminary, St. Louis ""This beautiful volume includes essays by some of the most accomplished scholars working on the intersection between Judaism and Christianity. The notion that an observant Jew might confess Jesus as the Messiah will remain a complicated and controversial topic. There is no simple solution to this challenge, but this volume addresses a number of the sensitive dimensions of this issue in a non-polemical and post-supersessionist fashion."" --Gary A. Anderson, Professor of Catholic Theology, University of Notre Dame
