<h3>Covenant & Hope Authors</h3> <p>CJCUC is grateful to the scholars who have contributed to ITI’s first theological publication. The scholars of Covenant & Hope came from the varying disciplines of theology, ethics, philosophy, rabbinics, and political thought. When the project was conceived, it was the hope of Robert Jensen and Eugene Korn to create a community of dialogue. The hope was realized as the fellowship gradually assumed synergy. The Center’s dream is that not only will the vital theological contributions in this publication enhance contemporary Jewish-Christian dialogue, but also advance an ever-growing appreciation for each other’s community of faith.</p> <div id="attachment_718" style="width: 160px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-718" title="Dr. Robert Jenson" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160715060817im_/http://cjcuc.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/robert-jenson-3-1-150x150.jpeg" alt="Co-chair of CJCUC's Institute of Theological Inquiry " width="150" height="150" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20160715060817im_/http://cjcuc.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/robert-jenson-3-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, https://web.archive.org/web/20160715060817im_/http://cjcuc.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/robert-jenson-3-1-120x120.jpeg 120w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px"/><p class="wp-caption-text">Dr. Robert Jenson</p></div> <p><strong>Robert Jensen</strong> is the co-Director with Eugene Korn of the Institute for Theological Inquiry.
