Check out this interview on beliefnet

It is a topic that I have become increasingly interested in.

There is a lot that I agree with in his view on not reconciling but understanding Judaism and Christianity as different vehicles to come to G-d and serve one's purpose.

I am curious as to how a christian views this article and viewpoint.

Thanks for sharing that article.

As a Catholic, I regard Judaism with great affinity. Much of the Catholic tradition comes Judaism. In a sense both religions complement each other. The problem between Christianity and Judaism has more to do with human arrogance than theology.

That was really well put. I have heard that both Catholicism and Judaism are very similar in that they both put a lot of emphasis on ritual. would you agree?
