Gavin D'Costa is Professor of Catholic Theology at the University
of Bristol and has advised the Vatican and the English and Welsh
Catholic Church and the English Anglican Church on interreligious
dialogue. His publications include The Second Vatican Council:
Celebrating its Achievements and the Future (Bloomsbury, 2013),
Religion in a Liberal State (Cambridge University Press, 2013) and
Vatican II: Catholic Doctrines on Jews and Muslims
(Oxford University Press 2014)
This work lays a foundation for further developments in the
church's self-understanding.

Jews asking for serious Catholic engagement with the covenantal
role of the land in Judaism can sincerely applaud the incremental
progress D'Costa's study enables while respecting the limits placed
by his characteristic careful engagement with Catholic
doctrine.
*Ruth Langer, Professor of Jewish Studies, Boston College,
Mass*
D'Costa is the gold standard among Catholic experts on the Church's
relationship to the Jewish people. This book boldly takes on the
most difficult and controversial issues in Catholic-Jewish
dialogue, and does so with the erudition, eloquence, and
theological balance for which D'Costa is well known. Highly
recommended!
*Prof. Matthew Levering, Perry Family Foundation Chair of Theology,
Mundelein Seminar*
Since Vatican II no more important work has appeared by a Catholic
theologian on the Jews and Judaism than Gavin D'Costa's Catholic
Doctrines on the Jewish People after Vatican II, together with its
predecessor volume on the Council itself.
*Professor Bruce D. Marshall, SMU Perkins School of Theology*
In this book D'Costa deals with an extremely sensitive and
complicated subject with clear language.
*Raffaella Perin, Quest 21*
