Abstract:
From the late 19th century on, a number of scholars contended that early Christian anti-Judaism must be seen not as a result of Jewish-Christian antagonism but rather of the internal Christian quest for identity. Examines this concept as expressed in a radical form by Miriam Taylor in "Anti-Judaism and Early Christian Identity; a Critique of the Scholarly Consensus" (1995). Contends that Taylor's research is inaccurate, and that she neglected many important sources. States that Christian anti-Judaism was not merely symbolic in the 2nd-3rd centuries. There was interaction between Christians and Jews in this period, as well as a very real conflict between them (which stemmed, not insignificantly, from Jewish proselytizing activities), and there were polemics from both sides. Early Christian anti-Judaism was a more complicated phenomenon than what Taylor has described.
