Part I. Judaism in Catholic theology: Transitions in the Church's attitude to the Jews -- After Vatican II -- John-Paul II and Jewish-Christian reconciliation -- Joseph Ratzinger and the Jews -- Part II. Christianity in Jewish-Orthodox Thought: Christianity in the Jewish tradition -- Christianity in contemporary halakhic literature -- Christianity in religious-Zionist thought -- The Orthodox world and Jewish-Christian dialogue.
Summary: "At Vatican II, the Catholic Church renounced the teaching that Jews had killed Christ and pivoted toward reconciliation. Jewish leaders responded in kind. Karma Ben-Johanan pierces the veil of interfaith dialogue, emphasizing rabbinical literature suspicious of the sudden Catholic turn and Catholic theologians struggling to maintain tradition".

"An earlier version of this book was first published as A Pottage of Lentils: Mutual Perceptions of Christians and Jews in the Age of Reconciliation (Hebrew) by Tel Aviv University Press, 2020".
