Christian Views of Jews, Part 2: The Church Fathers
Summary
Helen Fry looks at the Church Fathers and how their Christian views of Jews and Judaism quickly became virulent anti-Judaism. This anti-Judaism led to antisemitism that defined the image of Jews in official church teachings for 2,000 years. While today ‘Jew-hatred’ is emerging in new forms, its roots lie in Christian antisemitism.
