Vol. 21 No. 1 (2026): Jesus the Jew / Jesus the Christ: Explorations of His Jewish Identity and Its Meanings

Special Volume Editors: Philip A. Cunningham, Adam Gregerman, Daniel Joslyn-Siemiatkoski, and Ruth Langer

This special volume of Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations presents a collection of scholarly articles produced by a multiyear international research project entitled “Jesus the Jew / Jesus the Christ: Explorations of His Jewish Identity and Its Meanings.” It investigates the question: What is the religious meaning of the Jewish identity of Jesus for Christians and for Jews today and for their contemporary interrelationship? This initiative was sponsored by the Cardinal Bea Centre for Judaic Studies at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, the Center for Christian-Jewish Learning at Boston College, the Center for Intercultural Theology and the Study of Religions at the Universität Salzburg, and the Institute for Jewish-Catholic Relations of Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia.

Additional articles, a foreword, and an afterword will enrich the collection as the year 2026 unfolds.
