REL 2344 - Jewish-Christian Relations

1 Course Unit(s)
Examines the tragic and bloodstained history of the relationship of Christianity—beginning with its inception as a Jewish sect and culminating in the Holocaust—to Judaism. Two questions will frame our thought: How is it that a Jewish sect, whose “founder” was a Jewish rabbi, had within less than a century become avidly and outspokenly anti-Jewish? Was the Holocaust an inevitable consequence of the long, entrenched Christian tradition of anti-Judaism?
