About this title

Synopsis

A landmark blood libel refutation, The Jew and Human Sacrifice is the definitive study for anyone serious about the history of blood libel and its deadly role in European hatred. Written by renowned Christian scholar Hermann L. Strack, this work dismantles the Jewish ritual murder myth with meticulous scholarship, clear theology and a fearless examination of superstition, crime and fear.

Strack begins with the wider world of superstition and human sacrifice, tracing how cultures - including Christian Europe - have used blood in magic, medicine and ritual. Only then does he turn to Jewish law on blood, demonstrating how biblical, Talmudic and later authorities strictly forbid the very practices that antisemitic polemicists claim. Through close reading and historical analysis, he shows again and again how famous "cases" collapse under scrutiny and how ritual murder accusations debunked by evidence were kept alive by prejudice, politics and hysteria.

For students and readers of antisemitism studies, Jewish history, theology and Christian-Jewish relations, this volume remains an essential primary source. It offers both a calm, rigorous answer to the ritual murder libel history and a powerful example of a Christian intellectual standing publicly against lies told about his Jewish neighbours.
