Pluralism: Jewish and Christian

[SedesDomi]

“Judaism is a faith that already contains elements of pluralism, for while Judaism views itself as the truth faith of the Jewish people, it does not insist on a world in which everyone is Jewish. ‘For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the Lord, our God, forever and ever’ (Mic. 4:5). Judaism gladly accepts converts, but would-be converts are always told that they need not become Jews in order to live lives acceptable to God. The specific belief system and laws of conduct Judaism has developed is incumbent upon Jews only. What is universal in Judaism are certain ethical principles that are true for all peoples.”

– Michael S. Kogan. Opening the Covenant: A Jewish Theology of Christianity. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2008, p. 232

If we assume that Christianity is fulfilled Judaism, then shouldn’t Christianity adopt a pluralist theology, as Judaism has possessed since the very beginning?

Well, whatever christianity is I agree it should grow up.

I say no. As the New Covenant replaced the old. Our Jewish Brethren are sort of, with the utmost respect, a little “behind the times.”

"And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’ "
