First Tablet of the Commanments A Jewish and Christian Problem

The first five commandments are a triple paradox about Jewish-Christian relations. The first paradox indicates a similar and important impact on the two communities. The second paradox is that Jews tend to see the text as debatable and arguable, while Christians see the text as authoritative. The third paradox, however, involves looking at these issues from the broader background of Christian-Jewish relations to affirm the distinctiveness of each tradition while affirming that each can help the other to further maturity.Eakin, Frank E. is the author of 'First Tablet of the Commanments A Jewish and Christian Problem', published 2004 under ISBN 9781589661004 and ISBN 1589661001.
