The present book is destined to eliminate innate prejudices and to foster a better understanding of the ancient sources of two world religions—Judaism and Christianity. However it is only indirectly linked with the so called Christian-Jewish dialogue. The volume is a result of scholarly research. Scholarship and ecumenism (or disputations) were never identical. Nevertheless, like Erasmus I also believe that sound scholarship removes obstacles and paves the way for truth and for mutual understanding.
