Document Details : Title: The Jewish People and the Unity of the Church Author(s): HOCKEN, Peter Journal: Louvain Studies Volume: 33 Issue: 3-4 Date: 2008 Pages: 304-318 DOI: 10.2143/LS.33.3.2045803 Abstract : In this essay, we look at the developments in the last seventy years that are restoring to Catholic reflection on the Church an awareness of the importance of a distinctively Jewish component. It examines the pre-conciliar stirrings, the debates and texts of the Second Vatican Council, post-conciliar developments, official and unofficial, including the rise of explicity Jewish confessions of faith in Jesus, the Messiah and Lord. The essay argues for the necessity of the universal Church becoming once again the Church from the Jews and the Church from the nations. |
