Rabbi Hertzberg realizes that peaceful theological coexistence with the Jews-advocated by leading Christian theologians, including Reinhold Niebuhr and Paul Tillich-would be something of a revolution for traditionally proselytizing Christianity, but he thinks that practice in coexistence might be valuable.
