Abstract
This chapter explains how the discussion of Christianity's Jewish legacy on either side of the interreligious divide developed in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It cites Jewish apologetics and Christian antisemitism that confronted one another against the background of the new biblical criticism. It also covers the universalist prophetic ethic that was immortalized in the liberal Protestant denominations in Christianity and outweighed the Mosaic law at the bedrock of traditional Judaism. The chapter looks at Judaism's efforts to define its own contours and penetrate the depths of its soul as it encounters the dominant Western faith. It identifies the extent of the Jewish role and the positive assessment of discipline, field, or ideal that Jews had allegedly contributed.
