""In over two decades of congregational leadership, I have rarely encountered a Christian thinker so deeply invested in understanding and honoring Judaism--not as a precursor to his own faith, but as a living, breathing covenant between a people and their God. Paul's insight, candor, and teaching have been gifts to me and to our community. His work challenges Christians to confront uncomfortable truths, to unlearn inherited prejudices, and to rediscover the Hebraic roots of their own story."" --From the foreword by Andrea Cosnowsky
