The past and future of Jewish-Christian dialogue The history of the relationship between Judaism and Christianity is storied and tragic. However, recent decades show promise as both parties reflect on their self-definitions and mutual contingency and consider possible ways forward. In Healing the Schism, Jennifer M. Rosner maps the new Jewish-Christian encounter from its origins in the early twentieth-century pioneers to its current representatives. Rosner first traces the thought of Karl Barth and Frank Rosenzweig and brings them into conversation. Rosner then outlines the reassessments and developments of post-Holocaust theological architects that moved the dialogue forward and set the stage for today. She considers the recent work of Messianic Jewish theologian Mark S. Kinzer and concludes by envisioning future possibilities. With clarity and rigor, Rosner offers a robust perspective of Judaism and Christianity that is post-supersessionist and theologically orthodox. Healing the Schism is essential reading for understanding the perils and promise of Messianic Jewish identity and Jewish-Christian theological conversation.

In a fast-paced world full of distractions, spiritual practice can help us become more centered-more in touch with ourselves and others, more in touch with the world around us, more in touch with God. Sacred Pauses is an introduction to this more centered way of life. The author, a pastor in British Columbia, begins with her own longing for personal renewal. What would it take to feel renewed every day? Instead of waiting for a vacation to smooth out the tensions of life, instead of waiting until the end of the week to shed our weariness, what if we could take time out every day? Live a renewed life every day? Be refreshed by God every day? Sacred Pauses offers simple ways for readers to do just that. Each chapter explores a different spiritual practice-from the classic disciplines of Scripture reading and prayer to other creative approaches such as paying attention, making music, and having fun. With plenty of stories from real life and ideas to try, this book is personal and practical. Its flexible format is appropriate for personal use or in a group, every day or any time.

Praying for others is something all people do. Whether you are a devout believer, an atheist, an agnostic, or somewhere in-between, at some point in your life you've prayed for another person, probably without even thinking about it. You may have used the formal "intercessory" prayers heard in churches, temples, mosques, and synagogues, or had a spontaneous moment hoping for someone in need to find health, spiritual comfort, or blessing. Praying for Others guides us through many dynamic prayerful ways we can help a friend, husband, child, business associate, or anyone else in need of support. Birrell Walsh draws us into the wisdom of prayer by showing us such diverse practices as energy work (practiced by Jesus), keeping company from far away, entering into unity with God, looking for guidance, learning from hard times and failure, and bringing joy. Dr. Walsh's compelling and insightful narrative inspires us, while it leads us into and teaches us about these spiritual practices. Finally, a book on intercessory prayer for everyone, no matter what our religious tradition. Book jacket.
