bulletArticles & Background:
bullet "Grafted In: Why Christians Are Thinking about a Jewish Biblical Theology," Anna Brawley, Biblical Theology Bulletin, 2000.
bullet"Based on a detailed analysis of Romans 11:11-24, the conclusion is that this interest has come about in part because of the unique nature of the relationships between Judaism and Christianity, and Jews and Christians, and most especially because of the unique way in which Christians regard Jews and Judaism."
bullet "Pluralism and Christian Commitment," Lamin Senneh, Theology Today, 1988.
bullet"In the early centuries, the new Christian religion moved forward like an oriental caravanserai, with its complex baggage of exotic teachings, baffling mysteries, and an eclectic ethical code. In the jumble and tumble of social encounter, Christians spoke a bewildering variety of languages... Christian missionaries assumed that since all cultures and languages are lawful in God's eyes, the rendering of God's word into those languages and cultures is valid and necessary... Far from suppressing indigenous cultures, the effect of missionary translation has been to stimulate indigenous renewal."
