Shabbat Shalom
"The mission and the dream of the journal Shabbat Shalom are to repair the breach and work on the Jewish-Christian reconciliation, the Shalom, based precisely on the ground where it had been shattered, the Shabbat. For us then, Shabbat Shalom is more than a mere greeting. These words carry our dream and our action to promote a new relationship between Jews and Christians. It is our hope that Jews and Christians will some day be drawn back to their common roots, will listen to each other, learn from each other, and eventually discover a new face of their common God, who transcends cultures and traditions, the God of Creation, the God of Peace and Love, the God of Shabbat Shalom."

"Jewish Voices About Jesus"
An essay by Gerhard Bodendorfer. Abstract: "In recent times there has been a remarkable rediscovery of Jesus by Jewish scholars, who have pointed again and again to his deep rootedness in Judaism. However, most of these attempts have been strongly influenced by preconditions of (Christian) dogmatics concerned with messianic concepts and lofty titles. A new discussion about Jesus is needed that avoids Christological presuppositions."
