It is! I'd also really suggest reading Heschel as well. He is magnificent. Especially God in Search of Man. He really is a phenomenal thinker.
And you're right. The throwing around of theological terms has often resulted in their conflation. I agree with the definition of holy you gave, and I think a lot of Christians do as well.
The place where you will likely find distinction is in the theology of Law, which is typically a place where Jews and Christians diverge. Paul talks about Christ inaugurating a new covenant whereby our living in holiness is guided by the Spirit of God rather than the letter of the law. Both Galatians and Romans are especially laden with this idea. I think you will find that most Christian theologians follow that line of thinking, that by living according to the Spirit of God they fulfill the Law of Moses and are therefore holy.
Second on Telushkin's Jewish Literacy. For theology: God in Search of Man by R. Heschel. Also, Basic Judaism by R. Milton Steinberg
