Preaching in Judaism and Christianity

Encounters and Developments from Biblical Times to Modernity. Edited by Alexander Deeg, Walter Homolka, and Hinz-Günther Schöttler.

It is a widespread idea that the roots of the Christian sermon can be found in the Jewish Derasha. But the story of the interrelation of the two homiletical traditions, Jewish and Christian, from New Testament times to the present day is still untold. This book offers the papers of the first international conference (Bamberg, Germany, 6th to 8th March 2007) which brought together Jewish and Christian scholars to discuss Jewish and Christian homiletics in their historical development and relationship and to sketch out common homiletical projects.
