"Au début du XXIe siècle, que des juifs et des chrétiens se retrouvent pour le partage et la prière, avec chacun le souci de vivre le plus authentiquement possible cette rencontre, cela est devenu presque banal. Qu'en 1971, André Chouraqui, déjà connu pour son travail sur la Bible et le dialogue entre les trois religions issues d'Abraham, vienne participer à une retraite spirituelle protestante, c'était déjà plus exceptionnel.Mais qu'au milieu des années trente, un jeune homme algérien d'origine juive, se lie d'amitié avec une infirmière protestante et traverse la France pour rencontrer dans un petit village d'Ardèche, Louis Dallière, un pasteur protestant ardent promoteur d'une foi confessante c'était totalement inouï ! Cette rencontre marquera profondément André Chouraqui car elle contribuera, avec bien d'autres expériences, à le tourner vers une quête spirituelle dont les fruits ont enrichi le dialogue religieux de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle.Ce texte inédit est publié quarante ans après avoir été écouté, médité et prié par les participants à la retraite annuelle de l'Union de prière (1971), communauté de l'espérance fondée en Ardèche par le pasteur Louis Dallière. Pour notre société pressée, cette durée aura valeur de date de péremption, mais à l'horloge de Dieu, quarante ans c'est la durée de l'épreuve et c'est le temps nécessaire à l'accomplissement de la promesse, c'est surtout l'heure de l'espérance imminente" - Pasteur David Bouillon.

Winner of the 2011 RBY Scott Award from the Canadian Society of Biblical Studies/Société canadienne des études bibliquesThe God of the Bible favors a national people, Israel, and this is at the cost of the other nations. In fact, not being Israel usually means humiliation or destruction or simply being ignored by God. Reading the text “with the grain” or placing oneself within the chosen’s perspective may seem very well until one considers the unchosen. There is much regarding the unchosen that has not been explored in scholarly research, but in this important work, Lohr attempts to make sense of the question of election and nonelection in the OT as a Christian interpreter and with a concern for the history of interpretation and Jewish-Christian dialogue.He also corrects a Christian tendency to read election and nonelection as love and damnation, respectively, a perception that is altogether foreign to the OT itself. The unchosen are important to the overall world view of Scripture and, although election entails exclusion, and God’s love for the one people Israel is a love in contrast to others, it does not follow that the unchosen fall outside of the economy of God’s purposes, his workings, or his ways. The unchosen often face important tests of their own and have a responsibility to God and the chosen, however much this idea defies modern-day notions of fairness. It is a central idea of Scripture that already appears in the original call of and promises made to Abram and something that, if ignored, places our larger understanding of God at risk.Equally important, if contemporary faith communities (both Jewish and Christian) form their understanding of “the other” on a faulty reading of Scripture regarding the unchosen, chaos and hatred can ensue. The political and religious climate of our contemporary world has never presented a more important time to get this matter right. Scholars and students alike are finding Chosen and Unchosen to be an indispensable resource as they mull over these difficult questions.
