- Description
- This academic paper by Rev. Dennis Roberts explores the deeply entrenched anti-Semitism within Christian history, focusing on its manifestations from the Middle Ages through the Nazi era in Germany. Roberts underscores the complicity of German churches, both Protestant and Catholic, in the persecution of Jews, spotlighting the transformation of Christian theology and practice to align with Nazi ideology. He discusses the historical use of the Judensau imagery to demean Jews, Martin Luther's anti-Semitic rhetoric, and the role of the German Christian Movement in reinforcing Nazi racial policies. The paper calls for a theological reformation to address Christianity's anti-Semitic past.
