The records include papers, minutes, and correspondence of the Christian Scholars Group on Christian-Jewish Relations (CSG).

The content of the correspondence ranges from logistical notifications to in-depth discussions of current events and other relevant topics. Discussion materials include articles, essays, presentations, and discussion notes covering topics considered by CSG members in their biannual meetings. Many are written by group members explicitly for discussion at these meetings, while others were previously published by group members or others.
