  Dvora E. Weisberg, associate professor of Rabbinics and director of the School of Rabbinic studies at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Los Angeles, was joined by liberation theologian Laurie Wright-Garry, Mount St. Mary's College assistant professor of religious studies.
  
  Weisberg acknowledged that even the terminology used by different religions with respect to Scripture and the Bible has contributed to differences and misunderstandings. She said Jews view Scripture (which they refer to as Torah or Tanakh) in two ways: as narrative, telling the foundational stories about the world and the Jewish people, and as a "guide for life," teaching Jews how to eat "jewishly," what to do during the Sabbath, how to treat people in a way pleasing to God, and so forth.
  
  Sin, Weisberg noted, is seen by Jews as a series of acts that can be overcome. "Undoubtedly people will sin again, but that fact doesn't separate us from God in the long term," she added.
  
  Differences with Christianity, Weisberg said, arose from a different understanding of who the Jews were.
  
  "The Jews had a covenant with Abraham," she explained, which for Christians "was replaced by the covenant with the Spirit. To live a Jewish life was no longer an effective way to obtain salvation, grace, favor, or to be right with God."
  
  Once the early Christians attained political advantages, Weisberg said, dialogue was either directed by the church, or was absent altogether.
