Jews and Christians: Polemics and Cultural Interaction
52 hrs. 28 min.
Description
When and why did Jews settle in Europe? How did their relationships develop with rulers, with the Church, and with the Christian population? What influence did they have on Christians, and what did Christians have on them? How did modern stereotypes and norms of attitudes toward Jews originate, and what will their future be? These and other questions are addressed in the book “Jews and Christians: a Polemic and Mutual Influence of Cultures.”
The book is devoted to the encounter of two cultures, two confessions—Judaism and Christianity. It examines the development of relationships between Jews and Christians over the centuries.
The book analyzes the religious aspects of the polemic: the emergence of Christianity, the foundations of the relationship between it and Judaism, the image of the “brother-enemy” in each of the religions, debates on various issues such as the origin and timing of the Messiah’s arrival, the commandments, and relations between human beings and God. It also traces the development of the concept of “Jewish truth” within Christianity and views of Hebrew as the “first language,” the language in which God spoke with Adam.
Attention is also paid to the sociological aspects— the reasons and conditions for the appearance of Jewish communities in Europe, the mutual influence of the Jewish minority and the Christian majority, the history of the emergence of Jewish languages (Yiddish and Ladino), the “Jewish mark” and the “Jewish hat,” the first ghetto, and “Jewish professions,” as well as the birth of mutual stereotypes and their roots. The book discusses the emergence of blood libels about murdered Christian babies and the church’s and secular authorities’ attitudes toward them.
The book also examines various problems connected to Jewish law—Halakha, judicial procedure, Jewish literature and philosophy.
The topics covered provide the key to understanding modern Jewish-Christian relations.
