The Road Less Traveled By. Om Guds vägar och andra

Abstract

This article summarises the four responses to The Ways of God. Whereas the commentators agree that the document is impressive, they nevertheless wish to draw attention to three shortcomings: the portrayal of Judaism is strikingly «Christianised»; the discussion of Christology is inconclusive; and the paragraph on «the Land» is inadequate. This article also seeks to further the discussion by suggesting that three topics need to be considered in the future: Christians need to know more about Torah-centred post-biblical Judaism; presentations which give vent to disrespect for Judaism need to be revised or refuted; and, finally, Christians need to ponder the consequences of the Jewish-Christian dialogue as it calls for a theological evaluation of insular understandings of Christianity: no religion is an island.
