Abstract:
In medieval anti-Jewish polemics, the Jews were accused of desecrating and demeaning God by attributing to him human qualities. The Christian arguments were based on midrashim and aggadot which were interpreted literally rather than metaphorically. Cites the works of Agobard (Bishop of Lyon), Petrus Alfonsi, Raymond Martini, Geronimo de Santa Fe, and Alfonso de Espina.
