A collection of John Howard Yoder's essays on the relation of Judaism and Christianity, edited by Michael G. Cartwright and Peter Ochs and published in 2003 (Eerdmans and SCM Press). Yoder argues that the split between the church and the synagogue was not inevitable, and that the early church's Jewish roots have much to teach Christians. Ochs, a Jewish scholar, contributes responses to the essays.
