I feel that the Christian experience and the Jewish one have much to give each other. If this open society continues and there is no return to political anti-Semitism, then this encounter, deeper than any theology, may happen.

Blue is imagining Jewish–Christian relations not as a contest of doctrines but as a mutual exchange of lived spiritual experience. The “open society” he invokes suggests a modern, pluralist public sphere in which Jews and Christians can meet without coercion or fear; the warning about a “return to political anti-Semitism” underscores how quickly such encounters can be foreclosed when Jews are pushed back into defensive isolation. His phrase “deeper than any theology” points to an interpersonal, ethical, and experiential level—shared practices of compassion, suffering, hope, and community—where genuine understanding might occur even when formal creeds remain different. The quote thus frames interfaith encounter as contingent on political conditions as much as on religious goodwill.
