    About this ebook

    In recent years, the mask of tolerant, secular, multicultural Europe has been shattered by new forms of antisemitic crime. Though many of the perpetrators do not profess Christianity, antisemitism has flourished in Christian Europe. In this book, thirteen scholars of European history, Jewish studies, and Christian theology examine antisemitism's insidious role in Europe's intellectual and political life. The essays reveal that annihilative antisemitic thought was not limited to Germany, but could be found in the theology and liturgical practice of most of Europe's Christian churches. They dismantle the claim of a distinction between Christian anti-Judaism and neo-pagan antisemitism and show that, at the heart of Christianity, hatred for Jews overwhelmingly formed the milieu of 20th-century Europe.

    • 5/5
      A thoughtful collection on the relationship of Christian doctrine (especially Catholic and Lutheran, with one chapter on Romanian Orthodox) about Jews (always anti-Judaic and often antisemitic) and the exterminationist antisemitism of Nazism. The notes alone are worth the read.
