Anti Judaism by David Nirenberg
The Western Tradition
A historical and intellectual study of how negative ideas about “Judaism”—often detached from real Jews—have shaped religious, political, and philosophical thought from antiquity to the present, showing how this conceptual foil was used to define orthodoxy, critique opponents, and model societal ills. Tracing examples from the Bible, early Christianity and Islam, medieval Europe, the Reformation and Enlightenment to modern ideologies, it argues this enduring mode of thought structured major movements and contributed to catastrophes of the twentieth century while continuing to inform discourse today.
