Early Christian Teachings on Jews: a Necessary Cause of the Nazi SANZENBACHER, CAROLYN K., M.A., Early Christian Teachings on Jews: A Necessary Cause of the Antisemitism that Informed the Holocaust. (2010) Directed by Dr. Karl A. Schleunes, 215 pp. The idea that Christianity was related to the antisemitism that informed the Holocaust was widely resisted in the early years following WW II discovery of Nazi exterminations of Jews. Yet before the end of the Holocaust century the major bodies of Christianity had labeled traditional Christian attitudes toward Jews as the fuel for “fires of hatred,” declared the Church “sinful and in need of conversion,” and called for the Church to “submit her own history to critical examination.” By the turn of the millennium, formal confessions had not only been made throughout western Christendom for atrocities perpetrated against Jews historically but also for what was said to be a necessary causal relation between Christian teachings and the Nazi antisemitism that informed the Holocaust. In light of these admissions, and the growing scholarly consensus that it is no longer tenable to claim that Christian teachings on Jews are unrelated to the Holocaust, this study traces a triad of foundational teachings embodying the doctrines of Christian dominion, Jewish subservience, and perpetual Jewish suffering from their inception through the Third Reich. Not only were these teachings, along with their attendant ideas, terms, and concepts, the single most important weapon-group in early Christianity’s supersessionist arsenal, they were the means by which clusters of mutually dependent ideas about Jews were sealed with divine authority and delivered to modern western culture. The history of this complex development not only helps us to understand how ancient Christian theological claims became modern secular weapons to use against Jews in the twentieth century, it explains how the former can justly be called a necessary cause of the Holocaust some nineteen hundred years later.

Christian apologies issued forth from the arms of the Church, both Catholic and Protestant, in efforts to distinguish the antiJudaic attitude of Christianity from Nazi racial ideology. Statements condemning antisemitism called attention to its unChristian nature and godless irreconcilability to Christianity, while stressing that the Church had always judged harshly all forms of injustice and hatred. Admission of antiJewish attitudes in ancient Christian writings was tempered by the Catholic claim that such would have been the attitudes of individuals and not the official position of Christianity. Catholic apologists, in particular, went to great lengths to distinguish between official positions of the Church and those of individuals, insisting that antiJewish teachings were the distortions, misunderstandings, and misinterpretations of unofficial minority traditions. Coextensive with such apologies was a series of European Protestant admissions which reinforced the idea that individual expression of antiJewish attitudes in no way reflected fault with Christian doctrine. While openly confessing that many had fallen prey to antisemitism under Nazi rule, it was with the understanding that such ‘poison’ had infiltrated and weakened Christians and local churches from without. The Church itself, in both apologies and admissions, was portrayed as the divinely established institution of Christianity, resting on a holy foundation and irrefutably distanced from the antisemitic ideology that underwrote the state sanctioned murder of six million Jews. 1 Yet before the end of the Holocaust century the major bodies of Christianity, both Catholic and Protestant, had labeled traditional Christian attitudes toward Jews as the fuel for “fires of hatred,” declared the Church “sinful and in need of conversion,” and called for the Church to “submit her own history to critical examination.”1 By the turn of the millennium formal confessions had been made throughout western Christendom for atrocities perpetrated against Jews historically, as well as for remaining silent in the face of Nazism antisemitism, and for what was said to be a necessary causal relation between Christian teachings and the Nazi antisemitism that informed the Holocaust.2 In the case of this latter confession, while continuing to distinguish between Christian antiJudaism and Nazi racial antisemitism, the United States National Conference of Catholic Bishops openly admitted in February 2001 that Christian

  • The Cynicism of Diogenes
    DON‟T SHOOT THE MESSENGER! RETHINKING CYNICISM AND THE VALUE OF POLITICAL CRITIQUE by Suvi Maaria Irvine A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland December 2014 ©2014 Suvi Irvine All Rights Reserved Abstract: That Americans have become cynical about politics is often taken for granted in both popular and scholarly discourse. But what does it mean to be cynical? The answer to this question is far from simple and requires an investigation into the concept‟s origins, which reside in the ancient Greek philosophy known as classical Cynicism. Diogenes of Sinope, who remains the paradigmatic Cynic, was an abrasive figure in ancient Athens whose sneers and sarcasm where essential to his commitment to „living according to nature.‟ And for Diogenes, this meant living in accordance with the truth. He distrusted the social and political motivations of his fellow Athenians, and he called them out on their hypocrisy in ways that both amused and aggravated them. But what Diogenes did, above all, was demand room for honesty and the truth in the public sphere. I propose that his example is valuable in the context of contemporary American political culture, where honesty is rare and the truth is regularly disregarded. This dissertation presents an analysis of what cynicism can do for American political culture. I first address the question of what it means to be cynical and assess how much cynicism has changed since the days of Diogenes. While it may not mirror the original in all of its aspects, I argue that at root what it means to be cynical has not changed significantly, and that we can still identify cynics in our midst through their commitment to seeking and sarcastically speaking the truth.

  • Suffered Under Pontius Pila Te
    SUFFERED UNDER PONTIUS PILA TE Addendum erat judicis nomen propter temporum cognitionem says St Augustine (De fide et symbolo, PL 40, 187). But was Pilate's name put into the Creed simply to give the date ~ What was his part in Christ's condemnation ~ Was he really the monster which Christian legend has made him, or was he browbeaten and put upon by the Jewish authorities ~ Was he cruel or a conscientious, perhaps too conscientious, administrator ~ The gospel accounts alone cannot answer these questions for us, for they are not especially interested in Pilate, and do not give us a sufficiently clear picture of him. They must be interpreted in the light of the other sources. This will compel us to work in narrowing circles towards the centre of interest. First we must examine the worth of the sources for the history of this period, and try to discover their purpose and any bias they have. Then we must deal with the general tensions between the Jews and the occupying power during the Roman administration of Palestine. The field then narrows to the incidents between Pilate and the Jews. Finally we come to the trial scene. The sources for this period of Palestinian history are meagre in the extreme, but they are not so meagre as they are tricky to handle. For most of our information we must rely on Josephus. Josephus was a general in the Jewish rising of 66-70 A.D., who after his capture by the Romans wrote two histories, one The Jewish War, the other The Antiquities of the Jews.

  • 1 a Lesson from History
    1 A Lesson from History: Germany from 1933­1945 March 6, 2016 Brian R. Wipf The National Socialist German Workers’ Party (we know it as the Nazi Party) had, like all ​ ​ ​ ​ political parties, a platform. This platform was produced in 1920, 13 years before the Nazi Party became the ruling political party in Germany when Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor and 25 years before the end of WW2. It’s amazing to see how this platform conceived so many years earlier came to fruition. The Nazi platform had 25 points. It sounds a lot like any political platform in one respect. It addresses matters of law, economics, culture and governance. One interesting fact about the Nazi platform is that it included a religious position. Many European countries did not have (and still do not have) the principle or belief in the separation of church and state like we do in America; instead, many foreign governments actually support a particular church with money and legislation. That’s a little strange to us; we’d never dream of the government giving baptist churches, for example, a stipend to do their work, nor would we ever imagine the government requiring Christian education (that still happens in many part of our world). The Nazis had a religious position and it’s spelled out in point 24 of the 25­point party platform. Listen to point 24. We demand freedom of religion for all religious denominations within the state so long as they do not endanger its existence or oppose the moral senses of the Germanic race.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. The Form of Politics: Aristotle and Plato on Friendship by John Von Heyking Nalin Ranasinghe Abstract Heyking’s ascent from Aristotle to Plato implies that something Platonic was lost in Aristotle’s accounts of friendship and politics. Plato’s views on love and soul turn out to have more in common with early Christianity. Stressing differences between eros and thumos, using Voegelin’s categories to discuss the Platonic Good, and expanding on Heyking’s use of Hermes, I show how tragic culture and true politics can be further enhanced by refining erotic friendship, repudiating Augustinian misanthropy, positing minimum doctrines about soul and city, and basing reason on Hermes rather than Apollo. Keywords: Plato, Aristotle, Voegelin, Eros, Thumos, friendship, soul, Von Heyking Introduction John von Heyking’s book on friendship is as easy to read as it is hard to review.

Michael Torres 1 It is unlikely that any American elementary school student could forget the importance of the year 1492, as it immediately brings to mind explorer Christopher Columbus, his three tiny sailing ships and the daring voyage of discovery to the New World. Of no less importance was what historian Teofilo Ruiz of UCLA has called the Other 1492, the completion of the Reconquista (Reconquest) of the Moorish kingdoms in Iberia, and the expulsion of the Jews from Spain by the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragón, and Queen Isabella of Castile.1 These seemingly unconnected events influenced the history and economy of Spain and Europe, setting in motion the exploration, immigration, and colonization of the Americas which gave rise to Spain‟s Golden Age.
