It's often shocking to Christians when we're presented with the undeniable historical fact that Jesus was a Jew. Rather than ponder and understand how Jesus's Judaism played a role in his life and the foundation of Christianity, many Christians have resorted to attacks on Christ's own religion: Judaism. "The Jews killed Christ" and such anti-semitic slogans ironically have carried the same logical weight as if some were to claim that "African-Americans killed Dr. Martin Luther King due to anti-black racism." In his monumental "Opening The Covenant: A Jewish Theology of Christianity" Dr. Michael S. Kogan bridges the historical and intellectual gap that has for millenia precluded Westerners from understanding Jesus's Judaism. Just as vital, Kogan's theological contribution is as powerful a theological rosetta stone for Christians who have turned away from Judaism, as it is for Jews who have turned away from Christianity. For decades, Dr. Kogan has published and lectured on his unique theological views, so I am delighted beyond words that he is now sharing his well-acknoweldged views with the general public for the first time. Michael Kogan's "Opening the Covenant" will be certain to open, if not shatter, many doors precluding a genuine and compassionate interfaith dialogue.
