This article explores the early theology of Gregory Baum concerning Christian ecumenical and Jewish-Christian relations, noting its essential continuity with his later critical political theology. Dialogue is, for Baum, central to our humanity and truly "revelatory" as a medium of the divine Word. Baum's openness to Protestants and to secular, social-scientific thought and his personal struggle in Jewish-Christian dialogue, led him to a "post-Auschwitz" christology, whereby he rejects "fulfilled messianism" while holding nevertheless an "orthodox" doctrine of the incarnation. We find in the shifting, yet dynamic and consistent, thought of Baum the work of a listening, dialogical theologian
