Christianity and antisemitism
Kurzfassung:
Reveals an evolutionary pattern in 20th-century historiography concerning antisemitism. The reformist paradigm, which emerged in the first two-thirds of the century, views antisemitism as a medieval habit, related to superficial Christian belief developed through historical circumstance. The radical paradigm, which took shape in the 1970s (e.g. in Rosemary Ruether's work), claims that antisemitism is based on passages in the New Testament and is endemic to Christian faith; however, it was not part of Jesus' message, but was adopted by his disciples "in the heat of controversy." Recent works by Gavin Langmuir and Hyam Maccoby may represent a rejectionist paradigm, which claims that Christianity did not predate anti-Jewish prejudice; Maccoby states that Christian antisemitism has roots in pagan mythology. Haynes discusses how the radical paradigm has affected post-Holocaust theology, as well as the challenge to Christian theology presented by the rejectionist view.
