2000 Years of Jewish - Christian Relations/The Millennium Series
6 Lectures
Item #: S975
For two thousand years the fate of the Jewish people and of the Christian religion have been intertwined. For most of this time, the story has not been a pretty one, especially from the Jewish point of view. This series provides an in-depth look at the origins and development of Jewish/Christian relations over the millennia. It provides history, analysis and insights into the Jewish origins of early Christianity and the beginnings of Christian theological anti-Semitism. It traces Jewish life in the Christian countries of Europe, discusses the Crusades, blood libels, expulsions and forced religious debates. It naturally details the horrors of the Holocaust and its unfortunate Christian origins. It also discusses the relationship of different Christian groupings to the State of Israel and attempts to clear a window and peer into the future of Jewish/Christian relations in the next century. It is a must for understanding the past and present of the Western religious world.
