Common ground

a priest and a rabbi read Scripture together

de Andrew M. Greeley

In this revised and updated edition of the widely acclaimed The Bible and Us, Father Andrew Greeley and Rabbi Jacob Neusner present their characteristically candid - and often provocative - interpretations of the history, context, and meaning of scripture. Written in alternating chapters, in accessible language for laypersons and scholars alike, Common Ground reveals how a rabbi understands Christ, Mary, and St. Paul - and how a priest views creation, Abraham and Sarah, and the prophets. This new edition also includes chapters on the gender of God and how the authors' minds have changed over the years.
