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

In this timely study Gavin D'Costa explores Roman Catholic doctrines after the Second Vatican Council regarding the Jewish people (1965 - 2015). It establishes the emergence of the teaching that God's covenant with the Jewish people is irrevocable. What does this mean for Catholics regarding Jewish religious rituals, the land, and mission? Catholic Doctrines on the Jewish People after Vatican II establishes that the Catholic Church has a new teaching about the Jewish people: the covenant made with God is irrevocable. D'Costa faces head-on three important issues arising from the new teaching. First, previous Catholic teachings seem to claim Jewish rituals are invalid. He argues this is not the case. Earlier teachings allow us positive insights into the modern question. Second, a nuanced case for Catholic minimalist Zionism is advanced, without detriment to the Palestinian cause. This is in keeping with Catholic readings of scripture and the development of the Holy See's attitude to the State of Israel. Third, the painful question of mission is explored. D'Costa shows the new approach safeguards Jewish identity and allows for the possibility of successful witness by Hebrew Catholics who retain their Jewish identity and religious life.
