Title: Correction
Review: Please note: The Title of the book is not God AND the People Israel, as Amazon currently reads, but God IN the People Israel. This is a crucial distinction as Wyschogrod wants to argue that Israel has a corporate and corporeal or incarnational sense of its relation to God that need not be expressed in the Aristotelian language of Christian doctrine.The book is, as another reviewer wrote, written with clarity and thought. It is important to know that Wyschogrod pulls no punches with respect to Christianity. He admires the Christian theologian Karl Barth, and like Barth does not shy away from frank criticisms, some of which extend to Jesus, Paul, and Christianity in general. This makes for a lively read that should alert Christians to the idea that something is at stake in these discussions.
