Neuware - An essential resource for understanding the troubling role of the Christian scriptures in anti-Semitism This eye-opening collection of essays is essential reading for anyone concerned about the ways that Christian scripture has been used--both in the past and the present--in service of anti-Semitism. The authors seek to identify, contextualize, and problematize New Testament 'Judeophobia,' a broad heading that encompasses anti-Semitism, supersessionism, and various discriminatory practices against Jews at different points in history. In the first half of Judeophobia and the New Testament: Texts and Contexts, readers engage with the subject matter through thematic essays. In the second half, readers engage with text-based essays that focus on individual books of the New Testament as well as relevant non-canonical literature. Throughout, the book's goal is to educate readers about the ways that New Testament texts have been used to engender Judeophobia from the early church to today. While the book is designed primarily as a resource for teachers and students, it also aims to help New Testament scholars account for Judeophobic interpretations, take responsibility for them, and encourage the discipline to work against its own role in rising anti-Jewish rhetoric and violence.
