Jewish-Christian dialogue in the post-council period in Germany and Austria
Edith Petschnigg (Author)

Abstract

The decades following the tragedy of the Shoah marked a crucial turning point in how Christian theology would define its approach not only to Judaism but also to the first part of Scripture – the Old Testament or the Hebrew Bible. Gradually, Christian churches had to confront their own centuries-old, anti-Jewish tradition and slowly came to the realization that Christianity’s anti-Judaism and the Church’s wide-spread silence in the face of the atrocities of World War II had contributed to the heinous crimes committed by the Nazi regime. Grassroot initiatives for a Jewish-Christian Dialogue are one significant result of that shift in mindset. This paper concentrates on Jewish-Christian Dialogue initiatives based on the Hebrew Bible, which were established in the years and decades after the Second Vatican Council in post-Nazi Germany as well as in post-Nazi Austria.

Secondary title: Med preučevanjem Biblije in soočanjem s preteklostjo
Secondary abstract: Desetletja po tragediji Šoa so pomenila ključno prelomnico v tem, kako bo krščanska teologija opredelila svoj pristop ne samo do judovstva, temveč tudi do prvega dela Svetega pisma – Stare zaveze ali hebrejske Biblije. Krščanske cerkve so se morale postopoma soočiti s svojo stoletno protijudovsko tradicijo in počasi so prišle do spoznanja, da sta krščansko protijudovstvo in razširjena tišina Cerkve ob grozodejstvih druge svetovne vojne prispevala h gnusnim zločinom, ki jih je zagrešil nacistični režim. Množične pobude za judovsko-krščanski dialog so pomemben rezultat tega premika v miselnosti. Ta članek se osredotoča na pobude judovsko-krščanskega dialoga, ki temeljijo na hebrejski Bibliji in so bile osnovane v letih in desetletjih po drugem vatikanskem koncilu v postnacistični Nemčiji in v postnacistični Avstriji.
