The Christian Scholars Group on Christian-Jewish Relations is composed of Christian scholars who are aware that they are studying sensitive issues of significant religious import. They acknowledge with sorrow and shame the church's tragic legacy of anti-Judaism, and seek to use their scholarship to reclaim or reconceive elements of Christian theology and practice that offer a more adequate representation of its relationship to Judaism and the Jewish people. The purposes of the Christian Scholars Group are:

• To foster scholarship concerning the relation of Christianity to Judaism.

• To provide a forum for constructive criticism of work-in-progress on this relationship.

• To engage in collaborative projects that might also serve as a resource for others concerned with Christian-Jewish relations. 

• To discuss recent literature and directions in Christian-Jewish studies.

• To encourage colleagues in their own and allied fields to consider how the relationship of Christianity to Judaism may impinge upon their work:

• To assist the churches in reconsidering and reformulating their teaching regarding Jews and Judaism, and the Christian-Jewish relationship.

• To engage with Jewish scholars in mutual study and discussion.
