Compare and contrast Judaism and Christianity on one of the four following theological elements: nature of God/divinity, nature of the human person, nature of salvation, and the nature of human community the faith envisions. In your comparison, consider how similarities can provide points of contact in sharing the gospel. Consider also the concerns of many Christians, particularly in mainline denominations, that Jews have their “own covenant” and do not need Christ. Exhibit in your considerations a sensitivity to Christian mistreatment of Jews throughout history and the horrors of the holocaust. Your essay should be 800-1200 words long, exhibiting careful thought, engagement with class and outside material as needed, and effective writing.
