In early church polemics, Jews are deemed no longer worthy of their own Scriptures because they have failed to accept Christ as the Messiah.

Because Judaism and Christianity are both covenantal religions, the relationship of the individual Jew or Christian to God is always within covenanted community.

Judaism lives not in an abstract creed, but in its institutions.

I am extremely respectful of the Jewish community. You know, I am Christian. I think of Jews as my older brothers. I mean, there wouldn't be Christianity without the Jewish religion. There is a direct connection between the two of them.

St. Paul was making it impossible to be Jewish and Christian at the same time. What is very striking about those early churches and communities is that you could be both. Under Paul, though, you absolutely couldn't.

You can be committed to Church but not committed to Christ, but you cannot be committed to Christ and not committed to church.

We realize that Judaism as a faith can survive only in an atmosphere of general faith.

A Christian is Christ in the inward humanity; and a Jew is Christ in the figure, and in the office of his law, viz. according to nature.

If you hate the Jewish people, you are not reflecting the teachings of Christ.

If a man cannot be a Christian in the place where he is, he cannot be a Christian anywhere.
