[Biblical perspectives in the encounter between Christians and Jews]
Martin Luther attached particular value to the Old Testament in his theology. However, one result was the Christian absorption of God’s revelation given to the people of Israel, which encumbered the Reformer’s relations with Judaism. From the 19th C onwards Lutheran theologians disassociated themselves increasingly from Luther’s approach to the Jews. The result was that interest in the Old Testament paled and solidarity with the Jews failed miserably at the moment it was needed most. Lutheran theology seeks a new relation to Judaism. A biblical approach encompassing the whole bible can indeed bring the common Christian and Jewish tradition in their confession to the one God of Israel to bear here.
