A focused study of the straightforward question that comprises the title has become increasingly imperative. It has been forced upon our time by the searching desire for a basic understanding of anti-Semitism that has been the unabated concern of religious communities since the Holocaust-the destruction of the Jews of Europe by Hitler -though the need for objective inquiry of course predates our present decades. My embarking on this book is not the result of my own initiation, nor a response to timeliness, but rather a response to urgent proposals and suggestions coming even more frequently from Christians than from Jews. In writing it, I have two primary loyalties. One is to objective scholarship; the other is to my Jewish background. I am a rabbi. My lifes work has been the study of early Christianity; in this study my teachers have been not Jews but Christians. In my books I have sought to understand and thus portray Christianity with the measure of sympathy and critical admiration that is my genuine conviction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Brand: Fortress Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44886638755893,"sku":"ByrdShop_0800605217","price":92.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_0800605217_bc25eb89-7112-4f63-ad70-2f626ae892fd.jpg?v=1789559517","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/antisemitism-in-the-new-testament-9780800605216","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
