Difficulties in Dialogue: Jules Isaac and Maurice Blondel (1941–48). The documentation of a short but intense dialogue between two outstanding representatives of Judaism and Catholicism indicates two basic difficulties in mutual understanding: Jules Isaac’s argumentation operates historically and is impregnated by emotion; Maurice Blondel’s catholic theological arguments have the history of salvation in view. Nevertheless, Blondel’s remarks had apparently stimulated Isaac to sketch two of his 10 points at the Seelisberg Conference in 1947.
