This class will cover many aspects of anti-Semitism across the centuries from antiquity to its modern rebirth. We will define anti-Semitism proper in relation to racism, and study the biblical source of anti-Semitism.
Starting with the Old Testament account, continuing through the New Testament and the writings of the Church Fathers and Martin Luther, we will take a look at how the oldest hatred was formed and grew to become the motivation behind key historical events such as the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the Eastern European Pogroms, and the Holocaust amongst others. We will also study how it morphed into the new anti-Semitism of our times.
Since Christian witness to the Jewish people must be accomplished in light of and despite 2000 years of anti-Semitism, this class is a must for anyone who wants to understand it, and who wants to better relate to the Jewish people and show them the love of Messiah.
Some of the questions answered by this class:
- What is anti-Semitism?
