Fundamentalist-evangelicals and anti-semitism

Fundamentalist-evangelicals and anti-semitism

By David A. Rausch

Book Description

This scholarly examination tackles a provocative question that has long simmered beneath the surface of religious discourse: whether fundamentalist Christian beliefs inherently foster anti-Jewish attitudes. Through meticulous research spanning nearly two centuries, this work traces the complex relationship between fundamentalist-evangelical communities and Jewish people from the 1800s through the modern era.

The author presents a comprehensive analysis that moves beyond surface assumptions to examine actual historical evidence. Drawing from primary source materials, the study explores how conspiracy theories, prophetic interpretations, and eschatological beliefs have shaped attitudes within these Christian movements. The investigation covers pivotal periods including both World Wars and the Holocaust, offering readers a nuanced understanding of how religious doctrine and historical events intersected.

Rather than offering simple answers, this work invites readers to grapple with uncomfortable questions about faith, prejudice, and religious responsibility. The research illuminates how theological perspectives on prophecy and the role of Jewish people in end-times beliefs have evolved across different eras and circumstances.

For those seeking to understand the deeper currents of interfaith relations, this book provides essential insights into how religious communities have navigated questions of identity, otherness, and spiritual truth. The examination challenges readers to consider how theological beliefs translate into real-world attitudes and actions, making it valuable for anyone interested in the intersection of faith and social responsibility.
