Abstract:
A theological Christian approach to the anti-Judaism of the Gospel of Matthew and the Book of Acts. Deals with the violent condemnation of Israel in Matthew and finds reasons for understanding and even excusing it. Discusses Matthew's Gospel in the context of the sectarianization of Judaism in the Second Temple period and shows that the Matthean polemics were part of a larger process of self-justification on the part of Jewish sects in this period, similar to the sect in Qumran. Only after Matthew's Gospel was canonized and became part of the New Testament, and had thereby left the internal debates in Judaism, could it be judged as anti-Judaic. Discusses, as well, the ambivalent image of Judaism in the Book of Acts, written by Luke. There, Judaism is depicted as the origin of Christianity and hostility to Judaism is related to its refusal of Christian mission.
