Description
Covenant and the People of God gathers twenty-four essays from friends and colleagues of Messianic Jewish theologian and New Testament scholar Mark S. Kinzer, in honor of his seventieth birthday. The essays are organized around two central themes that have animated Kinzer's work: the nature of the covenant and what it means to be the people of God. The volume includes fascinating discussions of some of the most sensitive areas related to Jewish-Christian dialogue, post-supersessionist interpretation of Scripture, and the theological shape of Messianic Judaism. Among the contributors are scholars working in North America, Europe, and Israel. They include: Gabriele Boccaccini, Douglas A. Campbell, Holly Taylor Coolman, Gavin D'Costa, Jean-Miguel Garrigues, Douglas Harink, Richard Harvey, Vered Hillel, Jonathan Kaplan, Daniel Keating, Amy-Jill Levine, Antoine Levy, Gerald McDermott, Michael C. Mulder, David M. Neuhaus, Isaac W. Oliver, Ephraim Radner, Jennifer M. Rosner, David J. Rudolph, Thomas Schumacher, Faydra L. Shapiro, R. Kendall Soulen, Lee B. Spitzer, and Etienne Veto.

Reviews
"Few scholars have had more impact than Mark Kinzer. This extraordinary volume is more than a festschrift; it is a testimony to a vision and to its spiritual fruitfulness, rooted in deep faith. An ever-gracious interlocutor and a brilliant and creative thinker, Mark Kinzer has charted a path worthy of the utmost attention."
--Matthew Levering, Chair of Theology, Mundelein Seminary
"Mark Kinzer has been a mentor and dialogue partner for many theologians of different religious affiliations wrestling with questions arising from the fact that Christ has called 'together a people made up of Jew and gentile' (Lumen Gentium §9). This festschrift of essays centering on Kinzer's vision of bilateral ecclesiology and the mission and witness of Jews in the church by an all-star cast of twenty-four scholars will be a catalyst to further reflection."
--Lawrence Feingold, Professor of Theology, Kenrick-Glennon Seminary, St. Louis
"This beautiful volume includes essays by some of the most accomplished scholars working on the intersection between Judaism and Christianity. The notion that an observant Jew might confess Jesus as the Messiah will remain a complicated and controversial topic. There is no simple solution to this challenge, but this volume addresses a number of the sensitive dimensions of this issue in a non-polemical and post-supersessionist fashion."
