It is not re- stricted to extreme right-wing movements and social groups,but it also flourish- es in the political center and on the left.Political, religious, and laygroups alike continue atradition of discrimination against Jews, insults,and antisemitic hate crimes every day. Giventhis unacceptable reality,inFebruary 2018, approximate- ly one thousand scholars, activists, decision makers, and influencers met in Vienna at the conference “An End to Antisemitism!” The conference was jointly organized by the European JewishCongress,New York University,Tel Aviv Uni- versity, and the University of Vienna to study antisemitismwith an unprecedent- ed interdisciplinary breadth and historical depth. Over 150 presenters from all over the world engaged with all forms of antisemitism from avariety of perspec- tives. The present series, “An End to Antisemitism!,” documents the conference’s output and research resultsfrom various fields. Leadingexperts in Religious Studies, History,PoliticalStudies, Social Sciences, Philosophy, Psychology, Pedagogy, and Cultural Studies shed light onto antisemitic traditions from all their respective viewpoints. Together, they help to shape adiscourse of under- standing,knowing,and recognizingvarious forms of antisemitism in order to confront and combat them. One of the aims of the conference “An End to Antisemitism!” was, therefore, to createconcrete policyrecommendations regarding how to effectively combat antisemitism. These have been collected and published in aseparate Catalogue of Policies,² adocument of practical impact.They also form one of the basesof the first volume of the present series.³ All subsequent volumes are addressed to an academic audience.They document the research leading to these policy rec- ommendations. The present volume is concerned with methodsofconfronting antisemitism in Christianity and Islam. As one of the pillars of cultural memory,religions have been contributing to and shapingimages of “the Jew” from ancientand pre- moderninto contemporary times. Fortunately, especiallysince the modern age, voices from inside these religions have been raised against these discrimi- R. S. Wistrich, Antisemitism:The Longest Hatred (London: Methuen, 1991). A.

In modern Christianityand Islam, im- portant voices call for the tolerance, acceptance, and diversity of identitiesand opinions. The present volume not onlyresponds to these calls but can also help strengthen the continuous effort to combat and eradicate antisemitism in both religions. Unfortunately, as with most collective volumes,the present one does not document all the lectures in the field of Religious Studies that weredelivered at the conferenceinFebruary 2018. Not all colleagues wereabletocontribute due to amultitude of other obligations. However,the volume also includes some contributions from an earlier conference focusing on antisemitismin Islam.The conference “Islam and Antisemitism” wasorganized jointlybythe UniversityofVienna and TelAvivUniversity and held in Vienna, November 2016.Weare grateful for the willingness of the participants in this conference to share their research results for publication in this volume. The present volume consists of three parts. The first confronts Ancient and Medieval Religious Traditions of Antisemitism. The second part sheds light on An- tisemitism in the Study of Holy Scriptures andRelated Writings in the Modern Pe- riod. The third and final part confronts Antisemitic Traditions in Contemporary Christianity and Islam. The articles within the threesections follow achronolog- ical order with regardtothe time period with which they are concerned. Adiffer- ent sequence of articles was chosen whenever necessary to servethe overarching theme of the volume and its audience with regard to readability and accessibility. Ageneral introduction to the volume tries to establish the notion of antisemitism as religion per se, as an integralcomponent of self-definition for every religious and social group. Aproject like this volume, and the whole series, surelycannot be completed without the assistance of other individuals.Therefore, we would liketoexpress our deepest gratitude to alist of people who have supported us in shapingthis volume and bringing it to life. First,wewould like to give awordofthanks to all our colleagues who have contributed to the present volume.

The study is based on the analysis of current Geography textbooks in Bavarian secondary schools. As a first step, the authors developed a system for objective analysis of the textbooks that structures the content in categories. In a second step, the authors used the qualitative method. One category system was developed to analyze the didactical quality of the illustration to the theme Islam and Muslim life another category system was developed to analyze the different aspects of Islam and Muslim life in textbooks. Quantitative analysis shows that the book authors use a variety of illustrations, but especially photos followed by maps. The quality is generally good. Three aspects were selected for qualitative analysis: Spatial representations of Islam, Islam as a religion and Muslim people in Germany. The spatial representation of Islam across the different textbooks is very diverse. Islam is usually not presented as a European phenomenon. The presentation of Islam as an oriental phenomenon risks propagating the idea that there is no other religious group in this area.

  • 1 Jews, Gentiles, and the Modern Egalitarian Ethos
    Jews, Gentiles, and the Modern Egalitarian Ethos: Some Tentative Thoughts David Berger The deep and systemic tension between contemporary egalitarianism and many authoritative Jewish texts about gentiles takes varying forms. Most Orthodox Jews remain untroubled by some aspects of this tension, understanding that Judaism’s affirmation of chosenness and hierarchy can inspire and ennoble without denigrating others. In other instances, affirmations of metaphysical differences between Jews and gentiles can take a form that makes many of us uncomfortable, but we have the legitimate option of regarding them as non-authoritative. Finally and most disturbing, there are positions affirmed by standard halakhic sources from the Talmud to the Shulhan Arukh that apparently stand in stark contrast to values taken for granted in the modern West and taught in other sections of the Torah itself. Let me begin with a few brief observations about the first two categories and proceed to somewhat more extended ruminations about the third. Critics ranging from medieval Christians to Mordecai Kaplan have directed withering fire at the doctrine of the chosenness of Israel. Nonetheless, if we examine an overarching pattern in the earliest chapters of the Torah, we discover, I believe, that this choice emerges in a universalist context. The famous statement in the Mishnah (Sanhedrin 4:5) that Adam was created singly so that no one would be able to say, “My father is greater than yours” underscores the universality of the original divine intent. While we can never know the purpose of creation, one plausible objective in light of the narrative in Genesis is the opportunity to actualize the values of justice and lovingkindness through the behavior of creatures who subordinate themselves to the will 1 of God.

  • Jews and Christians: Perspectives on Mission the Lambeth-Jewish Forum
    Jews and Christians: Perspectives on Mission The Lambeth-Jewish Forum Reuven Silverman, Patrick Morrow and Daniel Langton Jews and Christians: Perspectives on Mission The Lambeth-Jewish Forum Both Christianity and Judaism have a vocation to mission. In the Book of the Prophet Isaiah, God’s people are spoken of as a light to the nations. Yet mission is one of the most sensitive and divisive areas in Jewish-Christian relations. For Christians, mission lies at the heart of their faith because they understand themselves as participating in the mission of God to the world. As the recent Anglican Communion document, Generous Love, puts it: “The boundless life and perfect love which abide forever in the heart of the Trinity are sent out into the world in a mission of renewal and restoration in which we are called to share. As members of the Church of the Triune God, we are to abide among our neighbours of different faiths as signs of God’s presence with them, and we are sent to engage with our neighbours as agents of God’s mission to them.”1 As part of the lifeblood of Christian discipleship, mission has been understood and worked out in a wide range of ways, including teaching, healing, evangelism, political involvement and social renewal. Within this broad and rich understanding of mission, one key aspect is the relation between mission and evangelism. In particular, given the focus of the Lambeth-Jewish Forum, how does the Christian understanding of mission affects relations between Christianity and Judaism? Christian mission and Judaism has been controversial both between Christians and Jews, and among Christians themselves.

Since its inception in 1986, the Center has sponsored investigative field missions, reported on the religious persecution of individuals and groups abroad, and undertaken advocacy on their behalf in the media, Congress, State Department and White House. Religious freedom faces difficult new challenges. Recent decades have seen the rise of extreme interpretations of Islamist rule that are virulently intolerant of dissenting voices and other traditions within Islam, as well as other faiths. Many in the policy world still find religious freedom too "sensitive" to raise.

  • THE CTU 50TH ANNIVERSARY Bible Land Tours with Fr. Don Senior, CP
    THE CTU 50TH ANNIVERSARY Bible Land Tours with Fr. Don Senior, CP From the very beginning of its 50th year life-span, Catholic Theological Union has had a deep connection with the lands of the Bible through its renowned Bible department. Each year CTU students and faculty have spent a semester abroad studying in Jerusalem and exploring the adjacent biblical sites in Jordan, Egypt, Greece, and Turkey. Beginning in 1988 and continuing every year since, Rev. Donald Senior, CP, professor of New Testament and President Emeritus, has conducted biblical tours designed for board members and friends of CTU. Nearly 800 people have participated in these special tours that include deluxe travel, five-star hotels, opportunities for worship at sacred sites, and expert biblical commentary on archaeological sites that form the historical foundations of our Christian faith. To celebrate its 50th anniversary year (2018–2019) as a premier school of theology, CTU will sponsor three special tours of the biblical lands: The Birth of Christianity: The Holyland: The Land of Egypt Greece and Turkey Israel and Jordan OCTOBER 5 – 20, 2018 FEBRUARY 8 – 18, 2019 JUNE 15 – 28, 2019 fr. donald senior, cp professor of new testament and president emeritus My work has focused on the study and interpretation of the Gospels, the Pauline literature, 1 Peter, and New Testament archaeology.

From the eighth century to the thirteenth century, Christians borrowed Jewish religious exegesis and beliefs in order to expand their own understanding of Christian religious texts.
