Debates over the boundaries between Jewish and Christian theological thought gained new urgency through a scholarly exchange centered on Milton Steinberg's *Anatomy of Faith*. Robert Gordis defends his *New York Times* review against Arthur Cohen's editorial criticisms by proposing three distinct pathways for modern Jewish religious commitment: Western secular philosophy (Steinberg's approach), Christian theological influence (Cohen's framework), and classical Jewish tradition as foundation. The exchange challenges both characterizations of Steinberg as detached from Jewish peoplehood and assertions of his overreliance on Reconstructionist theology, while contesting Cohen's portrayal of Steinberg as an existentialist crisis-theologian. A parallel dialogue between Ignaz Maybaum and Monford Harris explores romantic love's place in Jewish theology, examining how spiritual-secular and holy-profane frameworks differ between Jewish and Christian thought. Maybaum contends that romantic love exemplifies Christian spiritualization, while Jewish tradition sanctifies material reality without symbolic abstraction. Together, these communications reveal evolving perspectives on Jewish-Christian theological relationships and highlight persistent tensions between traditional Jewish sources and modern philosophical influences in theological discourse.
