Jacob’s Younger Brother: Christian-Jewish Relations after Vatican II.

This article is a book review of "Jacob's Younger Brother: Christian-Jewish Relations after Vatican II" by Karma Ben-Johanan. The book examines the relationship between Catholics and Jews in the years following the Vatican II council, which had a transformative effect on Christian-Jewish relations. The author focuses on the long-term changes in opinions held by Christians and Jews, rather than the papal initiatives and interfaith activity that followed the council. The book also explores the views of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and members of Jewish groups often overlooked in studies of interfaith relations. Overall, the book is highly recommended for its depth and original insights. [Extracted from the article]
