International Council of Christians and Jews

Posted on June 23, 2014 by kellerlibrary • 0 Comments

A couple of weeks ago, we shared the Ancient Near East Today newsletter, and today we have for you the International Council of Christians and Jews newsletter. This is a newsletter that describes the work of the ICCJ, the “the umbrella organisation of 38 national Jewish-Christian dialogue organizations world-wide.”

The ICCJ Newsletter is another great (and free!) resource for those of you interested in Jewish-Christian relations. You can get your own online subscription right here. Find out about the ICCJ’s upcoming international conference in Uruguay, and more, by following this link.

Thanks again to our awesome Old Testament Professor Bob Owens for sharing this information with us. We hope you’re having a glorious summer–pop in to the Keller Library and say hello the next time you’re on the Close!
