The Bond (between Christians and Jews)

My old teacher and friend, a Catholic priest, recently published this book called "The Bond." At a time when far-right "America first" nonsense calls for separation from the Jews, Fr. Barry Bercier offers serious insight with real depth and understanding on the bond between Christianity and Judaism and its role in preserving Western Civilization.

"For a very long part of their history, Christians were commonly taught that the New Covenant had replaced the Covenant of the Jews. By the time of the Second Vatican Council, this teaching was fading from view as a new understanding arose, effectively affirming that the Covenant of the Jews is in fact living and valid. This shift concerns not a peripheral dimension of Christian self-understanding, but a matter of the very origins of Christianity, and therefore, of its essential character. The little book you find here aims to suggest the theological extent, depth, and consequences of that shift as Christians and Jews find themselves bound together in the midst of the crisis of the West, the civilization which they have so profoundly influenced, by which they are now threatened, and in the face of which they are called to stand and respond."
