This paper situates this project in Sonderegger's longstanding belief in a need for Christianity to overcome its pervasive anti-Judaism, and shows how, to achieve this aim, Sonderegger constructs a highly unique and provocative understanding of the Bible as the creaturely site wherein God's immanent, holy life is manifest.
