The Dutch Centre for Israel Studies (Centrum voor Israël Studies, https://www.hetcis.nl/english) initiated a unique project 1.5 years ago, in which Orthodox rabbis and Christian theologians began to write together about the Book of the Prophet Isaiah. More than 2,000 Dutch theologians and church members receive an email every two weeks with a new episode. In this article, more information will be provided about the project and its background.
The Isaiah Project is a continuation of the Centre’s commitment to the ongoing dialogue between Jews and Christians concerning the interpretation of the Bible. This initiative followed the Parasha Project, in which Dutch Christians received a Jewish commentary on the Parashat HaShavuah (for those interested in these contributions in Dutch, please click on the link).
