Jews, Christians can learn from their shared Scriptures, say scholars
The "Synagoga and Ecclesia in Our Time" sculpture by Joshua Koffman is seen on the campus of St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia. The sculpture shows Synagoga (Synagogue) and Ecclesia (Church) studying their sacred texts together. Pope Francis prayed at and blessed the sculpture during his 2015 visit.
