One of the most significant books for Jewish-Christian relations is Franz Rosenweig’s Star of Redemption, and it is appropriate for Messianic Jews and others to celebrate and reflect on his achievement. The book is a dense academic and mystical treatise, with the theme of Judaism as the sun and Christianity as its rays – but this is not to do the book justice, but just to whet your appetite.
