Rabbi Jacob Agus Finds Parallels in Jewish, Christian Traditions A scholar's analysis of the paral- lel concepts in Judaism and Chris- tianity Was presented Wednesday night at St. Paul's Cathedral as the third in a series of eight lec- tures in Judeo-Christian Studies sponsored by the Pius XII Reli- gious Education Center. The speaker was Rabbi Jacob Agus of Beth El Congregation in Baltimore, nationally known lec- turer on the philosophy of religion and consulting editor for the En- cyclopedia Britannica on articles concerning Judaism and Jewish history. Pointing to the long history of Jewish-Christian disputation on theological matters, which he de- scribed as a "family quarrel" and therefore "more impassioned than disputes among strangers," Dr. Agus stated that his purpose was "neither to discover identities nor to harp upon differences, but to call attention to some interesting parallels, whereby similar truths were articulated in diverse dog- mas and institutions." "Exponents of both Judaism and Christianity generally re- gard the doctrine of God as one of the deepest canyons extend- ing between the two faiths," Dr. Agus declared. "The gulf between the Jewish stress on Divine unity and the Christian doctrine of the Trinity remains deep and unbridgeable." At the same time, he pointed out that the Christian concept of God was borrowed from .Jildaism. and that in the evolution of the Jewish concept of God, He has been credited with many separate and diverse qualities. As early as the pre-Christian period, Dr. Agus stated, the sages had speculated on the diverse na- ture of God. "Even then, the contrast was felt between the concept of God that emerges from the contem- plation of nature, more or less after the fashion of the Aristote- lians. and the concept that emerges from our contemplation of human nature as a dim and feeble 'image' of the Greater," he said. Similarly, "the philosopher Kant spoke of the two ultimate sources of belief in God — the starry heavens above and the Jr Although both the Talmud and Midrash "reaffirm the biblical contention that there is but one Chosen People," the Midrash also "asserts that God had sent pro- phets to the nations even as He sent Moses to Israel," Dr. Agus explained. He also cited the medieval Jew- ish philosopher, Joseph Albo, who * "acknowledged the possibility of : 1‘,. two divine faiths or covenants,. both equally true, providing they were addressed to different peo- * ple. • • • Stone August.

Both the rabbinic and New Testament traditions subscribe to the belief that "God chooses cer- tain people, predisposing them and their descendants to a super- ior status and to a special degree of closeness to Him so that they may be called His 'sons,' Dr. Agus stated. While Christians believe that preferred status in the sight of God is achieved through baptism and the confession of Jesus as Lord, the Jews stress the need for learning and practice of Torah, he declared.
