Extract

This article concentrates on the double foci of its sub-title which may be described as biblical and ecclesiastical, or historical and contemporary. It does not intend to offer a plan for the evangelisation of the Jews, but rather a perspective from which the Christian church may rethink an issue which has been with it from its inception.
