Opis

"Revolutionary Forgiveness" is a startling series of essays challenging the prevailing sensibilities of both Jews and Christians. In the call for accountability and commitment, Ellis asks whether the current boundaries that Jews and Christians claim continue to provide the foundations for faith and the embrace of the covenant.
