Anti-Judaism

Anti-Judaism is the "total or partial opposition to Judaism—and to Jews as adherents of it—by persons who accept a competing
system of beliefs and practices and consider certain genuineJudaic beliefs and practices as inferior."[1]

Anti-Judaism, as a rejection of a particular way of thinking about God, is distinct from antisemitism, which is more akin to a form of
racism. Scholars wishing to blur the line between theology and racism have since coined the term
religious antisemitism.

Nevertheless, the concept of Judaism has been challenged over the past two thousand years by scholars of both Christendom and
Islam.

Pre-Christian Roman Empire


In Ancient Rome, religion was an integral part of the civil government (see Religion in ancient Rome). Beginning with the Roman
Senate's declaration of the divinity of Julius Caesar on 1 January 42 BC, some Emperors were proclaimed gods on Earth, and
demanded to be worshiped accordingly[2] throughout the Roman Empire. This created religious difficulties for monotheistic Jews and
worshipers of Mithras, Sabazius and Early Christians.[3] Jews were prohibited by their biblical commandments from worshiping any
other god than that of theTorah (see Shema, God in Judaism, Idolatry in Judaism).

The Crisis under Caligula (37-41) has been proposed as the "first open break between Rome and the Jews", even though problems
were already evident during theCensus of Quirinius in 6 and under Sejanus (before 31).[a]

After the Jewish-Roman wars (66-135), Hadrian changed the name of Iudaea province to Syria Palaestina and Jerusalem to Aelia
Capitolina in an attempt to erase the historical ties of the Jewish people to the region.[b] In addition, after 70, Jews and Jewish
Proselytes were only allowed to practice their religion if they paid the Jewish tax, and after 135 were barred from Jerusalem except
for the day of Tisha B'Av.
Flavius Clemens was put to death for "living a Jewish life" or "drifting into Jewish ways" in the year 95 CE, which may well have
been related to the administration of the Jewish tax underDomitian.[c]

The Roman Empire adopted Christianity as its state religion with the Edict of Thessalonica on 27 February 380, see State church of
the Roman Empire.

Christian anti-Judaism

Early Christianity and the Judaizers


Christianity commencedas a sect within Judaism, so-called Jewish Christianity. It was seen as such by theearly Christians, as well as
Jews in general. The wider Roman administration most likely would not have understood any distinction. Historians debate whether
or not the Roman government distinguished between Christians and Jews before 96 CE, when Christians successfully petitioned
Nerva to exempt them from the Jewish tax (the Fiscus Judaicus) on the basis that they were not Jews. From then on, practising Jews
paid the tax while Christians did not.[7][8][9] Christianity is based on Jewish monotheism, scriptures (generally the Greek Old
Testament or Targum translations of the Hebrew Bible), liturgy, and morality.

The main distinction of the Early Christian community from its Jewish roots was the belief that Jesus was the long-awaited
Messiah,[d] as in the Confession of Peter, but that in itself would not have severed the Jewish connection. Another point of
divergence was the questioning by Christians of the continuing applicability of the Law of Moses (the Torah),[11] though the
Apostolic Decree of the Apostolic Age of Christianity appears to parallel the Noahide Law of Judaism. The two issues came to be
linked in a theological discussion within the Christian community as to whether the coming of the Messiah (First or Second Coming)
annulled either some (Supersessionism), or all (Abrogation of Old Covenant laws), of the Judaic laws in what came to be called a
New Covenant.

The circumcision controversy was probably the second issue (after the issue of Jesus as messiah) during which the theological
argument was conducted in terms of anti-Judaism, with those who argued for the view that biblical law continued to be applicable
being labelled "Judaizers" or "Pharisees" (e.g. Acts 15:5).[e][12] The teachings of Paul (d. ~67 CE), whose letters comprise much of
the New Testament demonstrate a "long battle against Judaizing."[13] However, James the Just, who after Jesus's death was widely
acknowledged as the leader of the Jerusalem Christians, worshiped at the Second Temple in Jerusalem until his death in 62, thirty
years after Jesus' death.[14]

The destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE would lead Christians to "doubt the efficacy of the ancient law",[15] though Ebionism
would linger on until the 5th century. However, Marcion of Sinope, who advocated rejecting the entirety of Judaic influence on the
Christian faith,[16] would be excommunicated by the Church in Rome in 144 CE.[17]

Anti-Judaic polemic
Anti-Judaic works of this period include De Adversus Iudeaos by Tertullian, Octavius by Minucius Felix, De Catholicae Ecclesiae
Unitate[f] by Cyprian of Carthage, and Instructiones Adversus Gentium Deos by Lactantius.[18] The traditional hypothesis holds that
the anti-Judaism of these early fathers of the Church "were inherited from the Christian tradition of Biblical exegesis" though a
[19]
second hypothesis holds that early Christian anti-Judaism was inherited from the pagan world.

Taylor has observed that theological Christian anti-Judaism "emerge[d] from the church's efforts to resolve the contradictions
ferent elements of the Jewish tradition."[20]
inherent in its simultaneous appropriation and rejection of dif

Modern scholars believe that Judaism may have been a missionary religion in the early centuries of the Christian or common era,
converting so-called proselytes,[21] and thus competition for the religious loyalties of gentiles drove anti-Judaism.[22] The debate and
dialogue moved from polemic to bitter verbal and written attacks one against the other. To Tarfon (died 135 CE) is attributed a
statement about whether scrolls could be left to burn in a fire on the Sabbath. A disputed[23][24][25][26] interpretation identifies these
books with the Gospels (see Gilyonim): "The Gospels must be burned for paganism is not as dangerous to the Jewish faith as Jewish
Christian sects."[13] The anonymous Letter to Diognetus was the earliest apologetic work in the early Church to address Judaism.[27]
Saint Justin Martyr (died 165 CE) wrote the apologetic Dialogue with Trypho,[28] a polemical debate giving the Christian assertions
for the Messiahship of Jesus by making use of the Old Testament contrasted with counter-arguments from a fictionalized version of
Tarphon.[29] "For centuries defenders of Christ and the enemies of the Jews employed no other method" than these apologetics.[27]
Apologetics were difficult as gentile converts could not be expected to understand Hebrew; translations of the Septuagint into Greek
prior to Aquila would serve as a flawed basis for such cross-cultural arguments,[30] as demonstrated by Origen's difficulties debating
Rabbi Simlai.[30]

Though Emperor Hadrian was an "enemy of the synagogue", the reign of Antonius began a period of Roman benevolence toward the
Jewish faith.[31] Meanwhile, imperial hostility toward Christianity continued to crystallize; after Decius, the empire was at war with
it.[32] An unequal power relationship between Jews and Christians in the context of the Greco-Roman world generated anti-Jewish
feelings among the early Christians.[33] Feelings of mutual hatred arose, driven in part by Judaism's legality in the Roman Empire; in
Antioch, where the rivalry was most bitter, Jews most likely demanded the execution ofPolycarp.[34]

From Constantine to the 8th century


When Constantine and Licinius were issuing the Edict of Milan, the influence of Judaism was fading in theLand of Israel (in favor of
Christianity) and seeing a rebirth outside the Roman Empire in Babylonia.[2] By the 3rd century the Judaizing heresies were nearly
extinct in Christianity.

After his defeat of Licinius in 323 CE, Constantine showed Christians marked political preference. He repressed Jewish proselytism
and forbade Jews from circumcising their slaves.[35] Jews were barred from Jerusalem except on the anniversary of the Second
Temple's destruction (Tisha B'Av) and then only after paying a special tax (probably the Fiscus Judaicus) in silver.[35] He also
promulgated a law which condemned to the stake Jews who persecuted their apostates by stoning.[36] Christianity became the state
religion of the Roman Empire (see Christendom). "No sooner was [the Church] armed than it forgot its most elementary principles,
and directed the secular arm against its enemies."[36] Animosity existed on both sides, and in 351 the Jews of Palestine revolted
against Constantine's son in theJewish revolt against Constantius Gallus.

From the middle of the 5th century, apologetics ceased with Cyril of Alexandria.[37] This form of anti-Judaism had proven futile and
often served to strengthen Jewish faith.[37] With Christianity ascendant in the Empire, the "Fathers, the bishops, and the priest who
had to contend against the Jews treated them very badly. Hosius in Spain; Pope Sylvester I; Eusebius of Caesaria call them 'a
perverse, dangerous, and criminal sect.' "[38] While Gregory of Nyssa merely reproaches Jews as infidels, other teachers are more
vehement.[38] Saint Augustine labels the Talmudists as falsifiers; Saint Ambrose recycled the earlier anti-Christian trope and accuses
Jews of despising Roman law. Saint Jerome claims Jews were possessed by an impure spirit.[38] Saint Cyril of Jerusalem claimed the
Jewish Patriarchs, or Nasi, were a low race.[38]

All these theological and polemical attacks combined in Saint John Chrysostom's six sermons delivered at Antioch.[38] Chrysostom,
an archbishop of Constantinople, (died 407 CE) is very negative in his treatment of Judaism, though much more hyperbolic in
expression.[39] While Saint Justin's Dialogue is a philosophical treatise, Saint Chrysostom's homilies Against the Jews are a more
informal and rhetorically forceful set of sermons preached in church. Delivered while Chrysostom was still a priest in Antioch, his
homilies deliver a scathing critique of Jewish religious and civil life, warning Christians not to have any contact with Judaism or the
synagogue and to keep away from the rival religion's festivals.

"There are legions of theologians, historians and writers who write about the Jews the same as Chrysostom: Epiphanius, Diodorus of
Tarsus, Theodore of Mopsuestia, Theodoret of Cyprus, Cosmas Indicopleustes, Athanasius the Sinaite among the Greeks; Hilarius of
Poitiers, Prudentius, Paulus Orosius, Sulpicius Severus, Gennadius, Venantius Fortunatus, Isidore of Seville, among the Latins."[40]

From the 4th to 7th centuries, while the bishops opposed Judaism in writing, the Empire enacted a variety of civil laws against Jews,
such as forbidding them from holding public office, and an oppressive curial tax.[36] Laws were enacted to harass their free
observance of religion; Justinian went so far as to enact a law against Jewish daily prayers.[36] Both Christians and Jews engaged in
[41]
recorded mob violence in the waning days of the Empire.
Through this period Jewish revolts continued. During the Byzantine–Sasanian War of 602–628 many Jews sided against the
Byzantine Empire in the Jewish revolt against Heraclius, which successfully assisted the invading Persian Sassanids in conquering all
of Roman Egypt and Syria. In reaction to this further anti-Jewish measures were enacted throughout the Byzantine realm and as far
away as Merovingian France.[42] Soon thereafter, 634, the Muslim conquests began, during which many Jews initially rose up again
against their Byzantine rulers.[43]

The pattern wherein Jews were relatively free under pagan rulers until the Christian conversion of the leadership, as seen with
Constantine, would be repeated in the lands beyond the now collapsed Roman Empire. Sigismund of Burgundy enacted laws against
Jews after coming to the throne after his conversion in 514;[44] likewise after the conversion of Reccared, king of the Visigoths in
589, which would have lasting effect when codified by Reccesuinth in the Visigothic Code of Law.[45] This code inspired Jews to aid
Tariq ibn-Ziyad (a Muslim) in his overthrow of Roderick, and under the Moors (also Muslims), Jews regained their usurped religious
freedoms.[44]

After the 8th century


Beginning with the 8th century, legislation against heresies grew more severe. The Church, once confining itself to only the powers
of canon law, increasingly appealed to secular powers. Heretics such as the Vaudois, Albigenses, Beghards, Apostolic Brothers, and
Luciferians were thus "treated with cruelty"[46] which culminated in the 13th century establishment of the Inquisition by Pope
Innocent III.[46] Jews were not ignored by such legislation, either, as they allegedly instigated Christians to judaizations, either
directly or unconsciously, by their existence. They sent forth metaphysicians such as Amaury de Béne and David de Dinan; the
Pasagians followed Mosaic Law; the Orleans heresy was a Jewish heresy; the Albigens taught Jewish doctrine as superior to
Christian; the Dominicans preached against both theHussites and their Jewish supporters, and thus the imperial army sent to advance
on Jan Ziska massacred Jews along the way.[46] In Spain, where Castilian custom (fueros) had granted equal rights to Muslims,
Christians, and Jews, Gregory XI instituted the Spanish Inquisition to spy on Jews and Moors wherever "by words or writings they
urged the Catholics to embrace their faith".[46]

Usury became a proximate cause of much anti-Jewish sentiment during the Middle Ages.[47] In Italy and later Poland and Germany,
John of Capistrano stirred up the poor against the usury of the Jews; Bernardinus of Feltre, aided by the practical notion of
establishing mont-de-piétés, called for the expulsion of Jews all over Italy andTyrol and caused the massacre of the Jews at Trent.[48]
Kings, nobles, and bishops discouraged this behavior, protecting Jews from the monk Radulphe in Germany and countering the
preachings of Bernardinus in Italy.[48] These reactions were from knowing the history of mobs, incited against Jews, continuing
attacks against their rich co-religionists.[48] Anti-Judaism was a dynamic in the early Spanish colonies in the Americas, where
Europeans used anti-Judaicmemes and forms of thinking against Native and African peoples, in effect transferring anti-Judaism onto
other peoples.[49]

The Church kept to its theological anti-Judaism and, favoring the mighty and rich, was careful not to encourage the passions of the
people.[48] But while it sometimes interfered on behalf of the Jews when they were the objects of mob fury, it was at the same time
fueled the fury by combating Judaism.[48]

In the Reformation
Martin Luther has been accused of antisemitism, primarily in relation to his statements about Jews in his book On the Jews and their
Lies, which describes the Jews in extremely harsh terms, excoriating them, and providing detailed recommendation for a pogrom
against them and their permanent oppression and/or expulsion. According to Paul Johnson, it "may be termed the first work of
modern anti-Semitism, and a giant step forward on the road to the Holocaust".[50] In contrast, Roland Bainton, noted church historian
and Luther biographer, wrote "One could wish that Luther had died before ever this tract was written. His position was entirely
religious and in no respect racial".[51]

Peter Martyr Vermigli, a shaper of Reformed Protestantism, took pains to maintain the contradiction, going back to Paul of Tarsus, of
Jews being both enemy and friend, writing: "The Jews are not odious to God for the very reason they are Jews; for how could this
[52]
have happened since they were embellished with so many great gifts...."
Contrasted with antisemitism
"The terms 'anti-Judaism' (the Christian aversion toward the Jewish religion) and 'anti-Semitism' (aversion toward the Jews as a racial
group) are omnipresent in the controversies over the churches' responsibility with regard to the extermination of the Jews" and "since
' ".[53][54]
1945, most of the works on 'anti-Semitism' have contrasted this term with 'anti-Judaism

According to Jeanne Favret-Saada, the scientific analysis of the links and difference between both terms is made difficult for two
reasons. First is the definition: some scholars argue that anti-Judaic refers to Christian theology and to Christian theology only while
others argue that the term applies also to the discriminatory policy of the churches [...]. Some authors also advance that eighteenth-
century catechisms were "antisemitic" and others argue that the term cannot be used before the date of its first appearance in 1879.
The second difficulty is that these two concepts place themselves in different contexts: the old and religious for the anti-Judaism' the
new and political for anti-Semitism.[53]

As examples regarding the nuances put forward by scholars:

Leon Poliakov, in The History of Anti-Semitism(1991) describes a transition from anti-Judaism to an atheist anti-
Semitism going in parallel with the transition from religion to science, as if the former had vanished in the later and
therefore differentiating both. In The Aryan Myth (1995) he nevertheless writes that with the arrival of anti-Semitism,
"the ineradicable feelings and resentments of the Christian W est were to be expressed thereafter in a new
vocabulary". According to Jeanne Fabret, "[if] there were fewer Christians going to church during the age of science,
[...] religious representations kept shaping minds. [53]

For Gavin Langmuir, anti-Judaism is concerned with exaggerated accusations against Jews which nonetheless
contain a particle of truth or evidence, whereas antisemitism reaches beyond unusual general inferences and is
concerned with false suppositions.[55] Thus Langmuir considers the labelling of Jews asChrist-killers'
' is anti-Judaic;
accusations of well-poisoning, on the other hand, he regards as antisemitic. [55] In his view, anti-Judaism and
antisemitism have existed side by side from the 12th century onwards and have strengthened each other ever
since.[56] The blood libel is another example of antisemitism, though it is based in distorted notions of Judaism.
Anti-Judaism has also been distinguished from antisemitism based upon racial or ethnic grounds (racial
antisemitism). "The dividing line [is] the possibility of effective conversion [...]. [A] Jew ceases[] to be a Jew upon
baptism." However, with racial antisemitism,"the assimilated Jew [is] still a Jew, even after baptism [...]." According
to William Nichols, "[f]rom theEnlightenment onward, it is no longer possible to draw clear lines of distinction
between religious and racial forms of hostility towards Jews [...]. Once Jews have been emancipated and secular
thinking makes its appearance without leaving behind the old Christian hostility towards Jews, the new term
antisemitism becomes almost unavoidable, even before explicitly racist doctrines appear ."[57]
Similarly, in Anna Bikont's investigation of "the massacre of Jews in wartime Jedwabne, Poland" inThe Crime and
the Silence, she recognizes the presence of antisemitism as a result of religious influence that is blurred with anti-
Judaism characteristics.[58] Bikont's explanation of life in Poland as a Jew post W orld War I reveals how it is often
difficult to distinguish between anti-Judaism and antisemitism during this time of growing anti-Judaic ideology . Poles
and Jews "lived separate lives and spoke dif ferent languages" which prevented Jews from fully assimilating into
Poland culture.[59] Jewish religious culture remained present and Jew's "social and cultural life ran on a separate
track" compared to Poles.[59] The ethnic differences were made more obvious through the obvious differences in
culture which fuel anti-Judaic acts. Although Jews ran separate lives from Poles, they coexisted for a long time.
"Jews, especially the young, got along fine in Polish, but at home they spoke iddish." Y [59] Socially, Jews and Poles
often participated in "picnics, festivities [together]… but Jews [were] often met with an unfriendly response from
Poles, and in the latter half of the thirties they were simply through own of these organizations." [59] Bikont believes
that negative views towards Jews were reinforced through religious organizations like the Catholic Church and
National Party in northern Europe. "The lives of Catholics revolved around the parish and the world of churchgoers,
as well as events organized by the National Party , which was blatant in its exclusion of Jews.[59] Bikont considers
that the murderous actions towards Jews in Poland resulted from "[teachings of] contempt and hostility towards
Jews, feelings that were reinforced in the course of their upbringing." [60] These events are classified as antisemitic
because of the change from increase of hostility and exclusion. The delusional perception of Jews escalated in 1933
when there was a "[revolution that] swept up the whole town… 'Shooting, windows broken, shutters closed, women
shrieking, running home."[61] Bikont believes that these violent aggressions towards Jews are considered acts of
antisemitism because they are performed as revolutionary acts that were a part of the National Party's agenda.
Much of the difference between defining anti-Judaism from antisemitism relies on the source of influence for beliefs
and actions against Jews. Once Jews were viewed as the other from Poles, the discrimination transformed from
ideology of religion to race which are shown through acts of violence.

Islamic anti-Judaism
A prominent place in the Qur'anic polemic against the Jews is given to the conception of the religion of Abraham. The Qur'an
presents Muslims as neither Jews nor Christians but followers of Abraham who was in a physical sense the father of the Jews and the
Arabs and lived before the revelation of Torah. In order to show that the religion practiced by the Jews is not the pure religion of
Abraham, the Qur'an mentions the incident of worshiping of the calf, argues that Jews do not believe in part of the revelation given to
them, and that their taking of usury shows their worldliness and disobedience of God. Furthermore, the Quran claim they attribute to
God what he has not revealed. In his polemic against Judaism, Ibn Hazm provided a polemical list of what he considered
"chronological and geographical inaccuracies and contradictions; theological impossibilities (anthropomorphic expressions, stories of
fornication and whoredom, and the attributing of sins to prophets), as well as lack of reliable transmission (tawatur) of the
text".[62][63]

Between the 9th and 13th centuries


Throughout the Islamic Golden Age, the relatively tolerant societies of the various caliphates were still, on occasion, driven to
enforce discriminatory laws against members of the Jewish faith. Examples of these and more extreme persecutions occurred under
the authority of multiple, radical Muslim Movements such as that of the Fatimid Caliph Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah in the 11th century,
the Almohad Caliphate in the 12th century, and in the 1160s CE Shiite Abd al-Nabi ibn Mahdi who was anImam of Yemen.[64]

Late Middle Ages and Early Modern Period


Differentiation laws were enforced much more regularly following the decline of secular influence within Islamic society and
external threats posed by non-Muslims.[64]

Notes
a. "The reign of Gaius Caligula (37–41) witnessed the first open break between the Jews and the Julio-Claudian
empire. Until then—if one acceptsSejanus' heyday and the trouble caused by thecensus after Archelaus'
banishment—there was usually an atmosphere of understanding between the Jews and the empire ... These
relations deteriorated seriously during Caligula's reign, and, though after his death the peace was outwardly re-
established, considerable bitterness remained on both sides. ... Caligula ordered that a golden statue of himself be
set up in the Temple in Jerusalem. ... Only Caligula's death, at the hands of Roman conspirators (41), prevented the
outbreak of a Jewish-Roman war that might well have spread to the entire East."[4]
b. "In an effort to wipe out all memory of the bond between the Jews and the land, Hadrian changed the name of the
province from Iudaea to Syria-Palestina, a name that became common in non-Jewish literature."[5]
c. "...Domitian ordered the execution of Flavius Clemens ... forJudaizing tendencies..."[6]
d. "In effect, they [Jewish Christians] seemed toregard Christianity as an affirmation of every aspect of contemporary
Judaism, with the addition of one extra belief—that Jesus was the Messiah. Unless males were circumcised, they
could not be saved (Acts 15:1 (http://bible.oremus.org/?passage=Acts+15:1–15:1&version=nrsv) )."[10]
