In this revised and updated edition of the widely acclaimed The Bible and Us, Father Andrew Greeley and Rabbi Jacob Neusner present their characteristically candid - and often provocative - interpretations of the history, context, and meaning of scripture. Written in alternating chapters, in accessible language for laypersons and scholars alike, Common Ground reveals how a rabbi understands Christ, Mary, and St. Paul - and how a priest views creation, Abraham and Sarah, and the prophets. This new edition also includes chapters on the gender of God and how the authors' minds have changed over the years.
