Abstract:
Shows that Werfel (1890-1945), throughout his life, wove back and forth between his Jewish identity and his Christian faith. He contended that Jesus was of Jewish birth and that the Jewish people was the living evidence of the truth of Christianity, so that without Israel, Christianity would not survive. Antisemitism therefore is an attack on Christianity. Suggests that Werfel thus anticipated much of post-Holocaust theology.
