Dissertation Title?

I need a title for my dissertation.  Here's a working subtitle:

"The Impact of Dialogues with Non-Jews on Rabbinic Intellectual Culture in Late Antiquity"

That says it all.  But it's too long to be the entire title.  I need a starter.  Problem is: I don't want to say "Non-Jew" or "Dialogue" twice.  And I'd kind of like to avoid using "Non-Jew" in the main title altogether.  

Any ideas?
