Jacques Maritain And The Jews: Theology (American Maritain Association Publications)

Jacques Maritain, one of the most prominent twentieth-century Catholic philosophers and social theorists, played a crucial role in the development of modern Catholic teaching about the people of Israel. Today relations between Christians and Jews have reached an historically unprecedented cordiality and the seventeen essays in this volume reveal the process by which Maritain's thought and work contributed to this development. Jacques Maritain and the Jews is a thorough survey of the influence Maritain exerted on various persons inside and outside the Catholic Church, as well as the influences of the Jewish question on Maritain himself.Robert Royal is the author of 'Jacques Maritain And The Jews: Theology (American Maritain Association Publications)', published 1993 under ISBN 9780268011932 and ISBN 0268011931.
