Summary
This brilliant & engaging critical encounter between Jean-Francois Lyotard & Eberhard Gruber has as its focus a single punctuation mark-the hyphen connecting "Jew" & "Christian" in the expression "Judeo-Christian." While focusing on the nature, meaning, & function of this hyphen, the authors are able to analyze many of the essential differences between Judaism & Christianity, as well as the most significant historical & political consequences of these differences from the Roman Empire to the Shoah. Beginning with a reading of the Letters of Paul, they contrast the Jewish & Christian positions on a variety of issues ranging from emancipation, history, sacrifice, incarnation, faith, law, & sexual difference to the value that is accorded reading, writing, & interpretation within these two traditions.
