extensively • in the community
and on tour, and taught many
boys from Temple Israel fam-

times, in recent months, to re-

Describing Judaism and
Christianity as the Same
Called 'Cheap Good Will'
WASHINGTON — Describing
Judaism and Christanity by
their similarities can be "su-
perficial and cheap good will,"
says a Jewish authority on the
New Testament.
Dr. Samuel Sandmel, provost
of the Hebrew Union College—
Jewish Institute of Religion in
Cincinnati, argues that genuine
good will "implies acknowl-
edged differences accompanied
by reciprocal respect."
In a pamphlet for teenagers,
"Judaism and Christianity,"
published by Bnai Brith Youth
Organization, Dr. Sandmel de-
clares that an understanding of
religious differences strength-
ens Judaism among Jews.
He couples an appeal to young
Jews to learn more about other
religions with a warning that
they must first "thoroughly
master their own Judaism."
His own wish "to understand
Christianity accurately and
sympathetically" in no way
compromises his "undiluted
loyalty to Judaism," says Dr.
Sandmel.
