«The continuing reconciliation between Christians and Jews is one of the greatest blessings in recent times. But this progress is still a work that is underway as the challenge of John's Gospel shows. An inspiring part of spiritual literature, the text also preaches fierce denunciations of Jews. This volume brings together leading experts to educate us in our encounter with John and, thus, with our own cultural and individual angels and demons.»
James Bernauer S.J., Boston College
The Fourth Gospel is at the same time a sublime work that has inspired and enriched the faith of countless Christians and a problematic text that has provided potent anti-Jewish imagery exploited in anti-Jewish and anti-Semitic discourse over the course of two millennia. Les mer
The essays in this book address both the Gospel’s stance towards the Jews and the Gospel’s impact on Jewish–Christian relations from antiquity to the present day, in a range of media, including sermons, iconography, art, music, and film. A short volume of collected essays cannot hope to address the full history of the Fourth Gospel’s impact on Jewish–Christian relations. Nevertheless, it is hoped that this volume will contribute to the efforts of Christians and Jews alike to find ways to appreciate what is good and life-affirming about the Gospel of John, while also acknowledging the damaging impact of its portrayal of Jews as the children of Satan and the killers of Christ. Only when Christians disavow this portrayal can the Gospel of John continue to be a true source of inspiration and perhaps even a path forward in the relationships between Jews and Christians in the modern world.

«Adele Reinhartz brings together fresh work by senior scholars on one of the most persistent issues in Jewish-Christian relations. Their collective effort ranges across centuries, traditions, disciplines, and perspectives in ways unusual in a single volume. Internal disagreements between them will spark stimulating reflection and their engagement with some of today's hottest issues makes clear the importance of revisiting John's most challenging passages and images. Every one of these essays will enrich the thoughtful reader and preacher of John in unexpected ways.»

«Adele Reinhartz, a leading voice in Johannine studies, convenes here a rich multidisciplinary set of resources from leading scholars for anyone seeking answers to an unresolved but urgent question in Christian-Jewish relations: how ought Christians to receive the many hostile references to “the Jews” in John’s Gospel? What models, positive and negative, exist, including in preaching and the arts?»
