Salvation Is from the Jews: The Image of Jews and Judaism in Biblical Interpretation, from Anti-jewish Exegesis to Elimi

Anders Gerdmar, "Salvation Is from the Jews: The Image of Jews and Judaism in Biblical Interpretation, from Anti-jewish Exegesis to Elimi"
English | ISBN: 9004530126 | 2024 | 374 pages | PDF | 6 MB

"Unheil," curse, disaster: according to German scholar Gerhard Kittel, this is the Jewish destiny attested to in scripture. Such interpretations of biblical texts provided Adolf Hitler with the theological legitimatization necessary to realizing his "final solution."

But theological antisemitism did not begin with the Third Reich. Ferdinand Baur's nineteenth-century Judaism-Hellenism dichotomy empowered National Socialist scholars to construct an Aryan Jesus cleansed of his Jewish identity, building on Baur's Enlightenment prejudices. Anders Gerdmar takes a fresh look at the dangers of the politicization of biblical scholarship and the ways our unrecognized interpretive filters may generate someone else's apocalypse.
