As a practicing Jew, I have studied with Christian teachers whom I respect for who they are and what they are, including their positive concern with Jews and Judaism.

Because Judaism and Christianity are both covenantal religions, the relationship of the individual Jew or Christian to God is always within covenanted community.

Jewish status is defined by the divine election of Israel and his descendants. One does not become a Jew by one's own volition.

Proselytizing is only wrong if coercive or deceptive. Coercion, whether violent or not, is immoral, just as deception is immoral.

During the Middle Ages, Jews were members of a semi-independent polity within a larger polity.

The theological contacts between Jews and Christians during much of the premodern period are best characterized as disputations. Even when not engaged in face-to-face argumentation, Jews and Christians spoke about each other in essentially disputational terms.

Roots can live without branches, although truncated; branches cannot live without roots.

Theology always has moral implications, and morality is always undergirded by theology.

One cannot accept Christ and still be part of the normative Jewish community; one cannot live by Torah and still be part of the Church.

A religious commitment coupled with theological awareness gives Jews a much better way to answer the claims made upon us by missionaries representing other religions than do the rather weak political and cultural arguments of the secularists.
