What is EJCR?

Jewish-Christian relations can look back on more than half a century of striking achievements. There are now initiatives and centers all over the world addressing fundamental issues. Until 2026 international experts at the cutting edge of their discipline will summarize in two hundred entries more than two thousand years of Jewish-Christian interaction, assess the achievements of dialogue and provide joint perspectives and new avenues for the future.
