The legacy of the late Andre LaCocque is brought to life in this book, each chapter having been written by his beloved friends and former students. His work has so inspired them that each of the contributor chapters moves LaCocque's work forward in directions of which he surely would have joyfully approved. His great love of Jewish-Christian relations, matters of social justice, feminist biblical scholarship, and interdisciplinary dialogue are carried forward in the enthusiasm and careful work presented here. These offerings in his memory are sure to serve as a jumping-off point for further scholarship in each of these areas of interest and blossom in the years ahead.

Reviews for Furthering Interfaith Biblical Scholarship: A Festschrift in Memory of Andr� Lacocque

"""This welcome collection of essays is worthy of attention on two counts. On the one hand, it is a fitting tribute to Professor LaCocque who was a bold pioneer in Old Testament study. He was not constrained by the conventions of our discipline, but staked out his own way of interpretation. On the other hand, these essays make significant contributions to our learning in their erudition and insight. We may be grateful to the editor, Doreen McFarlane, for seeing this important collection through to publication."" --Walter Brueggemann, professor emeritus of Old Testament, Columbia Theological Seminary ""Furthering Interfaith Biblical Scholarship in honor of the late Dr. Andr� LaCocque is a faithful representation of LaCocque's ongoing commitment to fostering Jewish-Christian dialogue in teaching and research. The editor has assembled a respected group of Jewish and Christian scholars whose articles bring diverse views on Christian and Jewish approaches to a variety of topics such as Jewish-Christian views on the messiah, resurrection, vicarious suffering, translation matters, and work. This volume is required reading for those who are serious about forwarding Jewish-Christian relations in the academy, synagogue, and church."" --Vanessa Lovelace, associate professor of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, Lancaster Theological Seminary"
