Page "Christianity and Judaism" Paragraph 97

What is clear is that formally, there is mostly peaceful living side by side, with strong inter-dialogue at many levels to reconcile past differences between the two groups, and many Christians emphasize common historical heritage and religious continuity with the ancient spiritual lineage of the Jews.

Christians and Jews attempt to coexist ultimately by recognizing the fact that they both worship the same Almighty God, that they both recognize several of the same prophets, and that both religions attempt to make the world a better place.

Christians view the Jews as keepers of the Old Covenant.

Jews view Christians as gentiles who worship the one God, but otherwise have their own distinct religion.

What is also likely is that for a long time to come, some within each will continue to consider the other with varying degrees of suspicion and hostility.
