In the 1960s, Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik refused to engage in Jewish-Christian theological dialogue, publishing an essay titled “Confrontation” in which he presented his reasoning behind his stance. Since this time, however, more and more Orthodox Jews—including some of his own disciples—have broken with him, not only engaging in public Jewish-Christian theological dialogue but arguing forcefully and eloquently for its necessity. (One of these figures is Rabbi Dr. Goodman’s own teacher, Rabbi Dr. Irving [“Yitz”] Greenberg.) This lecture will tell the compelling intellectual and theological story of how this remarkable transition came to pass.
