Synopsis

The book is primarily about how anti-Semitism became a component of Christian theology very early in the Christian movement, and how discrimination by the Church against Jews caused hatred among Christians over the centuries, leading eventually to the Holocaust. It also reviews some of the prominent NT members, e.g., Jesus, John the Baptist, Judas, St. Paul. It discusses some Christian beliefs, such as original sin, the Eucharist, Baptism, the Trinity, the Incarnate Jesus, and how Jesus was declared divine. There is a review of several early Church Fathers, most of whom were very anti-Jewish. There is a chapter on the atrocities against Jews during the Christian movement, leading eventually to the Holocaust, and a short account of the history of the Jews from Abraham to Jesus. Also, suggestions of how to reduce anti-Semitism in the Christian community.

About the Author:

I am a retired aerospace systems analyst, and a Methodist layman. Through access to the Claremont School of Theology and the Claremont colleges, I made a personal search of how and why anti-Semitism became ingrained in the Christian psyche, and how Jews have been erroneously portrayed as materialistic and cheaters in business transactions. This book is intended to teach Christians that perceptions about Jews have been wrong and unfairly discriminatory against them--hopefully, it will be a powerful means of reducing hatred agains the Jews.
