| Summary: | In 1980, Pope John Paul II talked to official representatives of the Jewish community in Mainz about the covenant with the Jewish people "which has never been revoked." The notion of the "covenant never revoked" is referred to again in the Vatican "Notes" of 1985, and frequently since then. This article concerns itself with integrating the new teaching of the "covenant with the Jewish people never revoked" into a comprehensive Christian view of the world. Such an integration into explicit Church teaching entails a paradigm shift as well as repentance and teshuvah. First, I will discuss paradigm shifts and the process of teshuvah, and then I will look at different paradigms wherein Jesus Christ is presented in a range of worldviews ranging from an exclusive Christology in which there is salvation in no other name to theocentric paradigms that attempt to include "the other," that is, the nonbaptized. I will conclude with suggestions for future action. Since the Shoah, and with the publication of Nostra Aetate |
