In 1969, as interfaith dialogue gained momentum amid post-Vatican II reforms, fifteen Protestant seminarians enrolled in "Studies in Judaism" - offering a rare window into how future Christian leaders approached Jewish theological education. Their motivations proved revealing: rather than contemporary concerns about anti-Semitism or Israel, students primarily sought to enhance their ministerial effectiveness and better understand Christianity's Jewish foundations. Through pre- and post-course surveys, examination responses, and classroom observations, the research tracked how engagement with Jewish thought challenged and shaped students' theological perspectives. While participants demonstrated significant learning about theological commonalities like monotheism and shared scriptural traditions, they maintained firm boundaries around distinctive Christian doctrines. Jewish emphases on philanthropy, community action, and ethical living particularly resonated as applicable to Christian ministry. However, minimal attitude changes regarding Israel and a tendency to view Judaism primarily through a Christian lens suggest both the possibilities and limitations of interfaith education in seminary settings. Though genuine interest in Jewish-Christian dialogue emerged, students' engagement remained oriented toward Christian self-enhancement rather than truly pluralistic understanding, highlighting persistent challenges in fostering deep interfaith exchange within theological education.
