Description

The History of Christian anti-Semitism is more than a dark past for the Church. It
is a horrific and shameful past that has influenced modern anti-Semitism and the
separation between Jews and Christians today. As Jews continue to endure such hatred,
Christians should make it clear that the crimes of past centuries do not reflect the current
desire for the restoration of these two great religions. Modern Judaism and Christianity
both rely on the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) as their source of inspiration. Both
religions believe in the Patriarchs, the Ten Commandments, the Prophets, and accept that
God himself inspired the writers to pen the very words of the Almighty. The early Jewish
believers accepted Jesus (Yeshua) to be the prophet that Moses spoke about in
Deuteronomy 18:15-19, which was also considered a messianic passage by classical
rabbis and Christian scholars alike.
