Pope John Paul II devoted his papacy to reconciliation between Christianity and the Jewish people. By courageously confronting one of the world's longest and most tragic religious conflicts, he built bridges of respect and understanding fostering a historic rapproachment between Jews and Catholics. On the occasion of the beatification of Pope John Paul II, the Anti-Defamation League and Herder & Herder are proud to present this complete collection of John Paul II's public writings on Jews, Judaism and Israel. This treasury, compiled and co-edited by Eugene J. Fisher and Rabbi Leon Klenicki, bears witness to the extraordinary contributions made by John Paul II to the historic dialogue between Jews and Christians.
