by Marcus Braybrooke
Meeting Jews: Bringing God Down to Earth introduces the reader to the Jewish world and its concerns.

-
what it means to be Jewish.

some of the key issues relating to the two most decisive events in Jewish life: the Holocaust and the development of the State of Israel.
-
the transformation of Jewish-Christian relations in the last fifty years.
-
the need for Jewish-Muslim dialogue.
