Theme Reference Guide to the LIST Theme Reference Guide for The LIST (Version 1.0 June 18, 2019) Introduction This Reference guide is meant to be used with The LIST. The guide gives you references to different events on The LIST based upon themes. Though this Reference Guide can be used as a "stand alone" document, it is a powerful tool for viewing various events on The LIST based upon theme. One way this Reference Guide might be used is as follows: a prayer time can be organized around themes, hour by hour. An analysis of the more than 850 items in The LIST reveals the following general themes/sections (in no particular order): Themes th th 1. 9 /​ 10 ​ of Av ​ th​ a) 9 ​ of Av ​ th b) 10 ​ of Av ​ th th c) Combined 9 /​ 10 ​ of Av ​ ​ 2. Antisemitic writings a) Replacement Theology i. THE SEEDS ii. THE FRUIT b) General 3. Blame, accusations and humiliations a) General blame and accusations b) Host desecration accusations c) Blood libel accusations d) Ritual Murder accusations e) Humiliations 4. Pogroms 5. Expulsions 6. Papal bulls 7. Church canons 8. Inquisitions and auto-da-fés ​ 9. Other (miscellaneous) notable events Giving Thanks a) Papal bulls b) Miscellaneous Below these headings area variety of examples listed as suggestions for prayers of repentance. Some of these entries contain a brief description of the event. For more information and full details of each entry, please refer to The LIST itself. Of the many examples that could be chosen, preference was given to the more well-known/infamous examples, which often set precedents for succeeding atrocities. Examples from different nations were also chosen (highlighted in bold) to provide a representative cross-section national sampling for ​ ​ ​ ​ individuals/groups who may wish to focus on prayer for their own (or a specific) nation. As we are praying prayers of repentance for the sins of our Church forefathers specifically on the 9th of Av, ​ it is suggested that the prayer repentance session begin with one of the entries mentioned in the first th th th th section:9 /​ 10 of Av, which contains all the 9 /​ 10 of Av dates having direct Christian/Christian nation ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ involvement. It is also suggested that the prayer session conclude with a short time spent in thanksgiving, as some of our history includes some positive things our Church forefathers did that benefited Jews. The Giving ​ Thanks section contains a number of suggestions, and is divided into two parts: ​ Part a) Papal bulls: lists a number of papal bulls that were issued that benefited Jews, and which undid some of the previous papal bulls mentioned in that section. Part b) Miscellaneous: lists a number of miscellaneous events that benefited Jews. It is highly recommended that leaders (or individuals) make themselves familiar with the themes in this document several days ahead of the 9th of Av, in order to get an overview of its contents. But while these ​ themes and suggestions have been prepared to aid individuals and leaders in deciding what to pray for, they remain only suggestions. The most important thing,and overriding factor,is to let the Holy ​ Spirit be your Guide, and to seek the Lord in prayer to see where He would have your focus be. We trust that this document will give you the information you need in order to seek the Lord for His direction on what to pray for, and repent of, and we thank you for joining us in prayer for the Nations’ 9th ​ of Av. Amen. th th 1) 9 /10​ of​ Av ​ ​ While there are many tragic events that occurred on both these days, the following events were either perpetrated by our Church forefathers directly, or were perpetrated by Christian nations. th a) 9 ​ of Av ​ 1096: Pope Urban II declared the start of the First Crusade, in which 10,000 Jews were killed in the first month of the Crusade. 1290: Jews expelled from England. ​ ​ 1492: Jews expelled from Spain. ​ ​ 1555: Pope Paul IV issued a papal bull confining Jews into a walled ghetto in Rome, Italy. ​ ​ 1648: Cossacks from Poland/Lithuania massacred thousands of East European Jews. ​ ​ 1941: Himmler received approval from the Nazi Party in Germany for the “Final Solution” of ​ ​ the Jews. 1942: Treblinka extermination camp in Poland became operational in which more Jews were ​ ​ killed than at any other concentration camp apart from Auschwitz. th b) 10 ​ of Av ​ 1306: Jews expelled from France. ​ 1905: England passed the Aliens Act, which had grave implications for European Jewry seeking ​ ​ sanctuary during the Holocaust. th th c) Combined 9 /​ 10 o​ f Av ​ ​ 2005: Under the urging of President Bush, United States, 8,600 Jews were forcibly removed ​ ​ from their homes in the Gaza Strip, which was given to the Palestinians. 2) Antisemitic writings The list of antisemitic writings from our Church history is unfortunately prolific. The following list is a sampling of some of the most egregious writings, many with sample texts in The LIST itself. Although divided into two sections, Replacement Theology-thinking has permeated our entire history, and underpinned much of our later antisemitic writings in general (section b). a) Replacement Theology i. THE SEEDS c. 155-60: Justin Martyr writes “Dialogue with Trypho” (a Jew) which seeks to prove to ​ Trypho that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah. c. 180 Irenaeus’ book “Against Heresies” makes it clear that Jews have been disinherited ​ from the love of God, sowing the seeds of Replacement Theology. c. 200 Tertullian writes “Against the Jews”, a treatise inspired by an argument between a ​ Christian and Jewish convert, which reveals that Christians would overcome the Jews, who would serve Christians. 220-230 Origen writes “On the First Principles” where he allegorised scripture, allowing him to claim that the word Israel in the Bible could mean the Church. 249 St. Cyprian writes “Three Books of Testimonies Against the Jews”, whose allegorical arguments imply that Christians have inherited the birthright that the Jews have forfeited. 426 St. Augustine publishes “The City of God”, which, through the allegorical method of interpreting scripture, develops the idea that the Church is the kingdom of God, thus popularising Replacement Theology. ii. THE FRUIT 1543: Martin Luther’s “On the Jews and Their Lies”, which outlined seven actions in response to the question “What shall we Christians do with this rejected and condemned people, the Jews”. 1621: The pilgrims celebrated their first harvest at Plymouth, Massachusetts. They modeled themselves after the Jews, who they believed had been rejected by God and needed to embrace Jesus as the Messiah in order to re-enter the covenant, and believed their journey to America was a reenactment of the biblical Exodus. 1933-45: The Holocaust: the number of Jews: 6 million (first entry): Hitler and the Nazis ​ ​ ​ ​ used as moral justification the writings of Martin Luther (Protestant) and Chrysostom (Catholic), and 1,500 years of historical Catholic actions against the Jews. b) General th 4 ​ Century (first entry): Summary of the history of the Jews. ​ ​ ​ 306-73: St. Ephrem the Syrian wrote many hymns with maligning references to the Jews. 374: St. Ambrose, one of the four original Doctors of the Church, who preached against the Jews. 386-87: St Chrysostom wrote eight homilies (in separate entries): “Against the Jews”. ​ ​ 395-430: St. Augustine of Hippo wrote that the Jews are a sort ever-living “negative example” for Christians to learn from. 429-40: St. Augustine’s “Treatise Against the Jews”. c. 827: Agobard of Lyon: several entries with samples of his antisemitic writings. ​ 1090-1153: Bernard of Clairvaux: antisemitic sermons and letters. c. 1173: Thomas of Monmouth, who claimed there was an annual international council of Jews ​ where they chose the country in which a child would be killed during Easter. 1271: Thomas Aquinas wrote “Letter on the Treatment of the Jews”, which deals with how a ruler should deal with Jews during the 1200s. His words set the stage for later claims of ritual murder, host desecration, and well poisoning. 1387: Geoffrey Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales, which includes the verses in The Prioress’s Tale, related to various blood libel stories common at the time. 1451-53: John of Capistrano, known as the “Scourge of the Hebrews” for his antisemitic messages, which inspired violence, pogroms and expulsions (see expulsion, 1453, in The ​ LIST). 1508: Ulrich Zasius’ treatise “The Problems of Baptising Jewish Children” was later used to justify kidnappings and forced baptism of Jewish children. Martin Luther: 1514: letter to Reverend Spalatin in which his antisemitism was already apparent. 1538: treatise “Against the Sabbatarians”. 1543: treatise “On the Jews and Their Lies”. 1543: the book “Von SchemHamphoras”, argued that the Jews were no longer the “Chosen People”, but the “devil’s people”. 1546: Luther preached four sermons where he advocated that the authorities which could expel the Jews, should do so if they didn’t convert to Christianity. John Knox: 1547, 1558, 1560: antisemitic writings from the leader of the Reformation in Scotland. 1868: Herman Goedsche, whose fictional “Rabbi’s Speech” was frequently quoted as authentic and invoked as proof of the authenticity of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion (see 1905 ​ below). ​ 1874-90: Adolf Stoecker, known as the “second Luther”, who argued in one of his pamphlets that the contradiction between the Jews and the Aryans could only be settled with the extermination of one of them. 1880: Heinrich von Treitschke published “A Word About our Jews”, which contained the phrase “The Jews are our Misfortune”, adopted as a motto by the Nazi publication Der Stürmer. 1880-81: Antisemites’ Petition launched in Germany to rally public awareness of the “Jewish problem.” 1883: Theodor Fritsch wrote The Racists’ Decalogue.

  • When a Jew Rules the World: English
    ADVANCE PRAISE Joel Richardson has written a very important and hard-hitting book. His arguments against replacement theology, or supersessionism, are powerful and solid. I have greater optimism of the final end of the age on the tribulation. However, the basic thrust of this book is right and true and a wonderful contribution. —DANIEL JUSTER, TH. D. TIKKUN INTERNATIONAL, JERUSALEM This latest book by Joel Richardson is desperately needed and a must read for the serious Christian. His characteristic scholarship and diligence is long overdue on this very crucial perspective for everyone that claims the name of Christ. The inevitable rise of criticism will simply underscore the reality that these issues lie at the very centroid of all doctrines of a Biblical faith and include a crucial re-examination of the eschatological issues on our immediate horizon. Indeed, a pivotal contribution for us all. —CHUCK MISSLER, KOINONIA HOUSE This book draws the reader through foundational biblical and historical issues regarding the restoration of the Jewish people, as well as the speckled and sometimes glorious history of the body of Messiah vis-à-vis Israel’s destiny. Thoughtful, respectful, helpful, edifying. —AVNER BOSKEY, FINAL FRONTIER MINISTRIES, BEERSHEVA, ISRAEL There are numerous points of light that illuminate the canvas on which the history of the church is rendered. However, these points of light shine against a shadowy backdrop rendered in dark crimson. The vitriol and bloodlust displayed by many nations toward the people that birthed God’s Son has dimmed the light of God and obscured the path of love he came to reveal.

    COVER: Stone medallion with the purported martyrdom scene of Simonino di Trento. Palazzo Salvadori, Trent, Italy. Photo by Andreas Caranti. Via Wikimedia Commons. YIVO INSTITUTE FOR JEWISH RESEARCH PRESENTS CONFERENCE OCTOBER 9, 2016 CO-SPONSORED BY 1 INCE ITS FABRICATION IN THE MIDDLE AGES, the accusation that Jews Skidnapped, tortured and killed Christian children in mockery of Christ and the Crucifixion, or for the use of their blood, has been the basis for some of the most hateful examples of organized antisemitism. The blood libel has inspired expulsions and murder of Jews, tortures and forced mass conversions, and has served as an ines- capable focal point for wider strains of anti-Jewish sentiment that permeate learned and popular discourse, social and political thought, and cultural media. In light of contemporary manifestations of antisemitism around the world it is appropriate to re-examine the enduring history, the wide dissemination, and the persistent life of a historical and cultural myth—a bald lie—intended to demonize the Jewish people. This conference explores the impact of the blood libel over the centuries in a wide variety of geographic regions. It focuses on cultural memory: how cultural memory was created, elaborated, and transmitted even when based on no actual event. Scholars have treated the blood libel within their own areas of expertise—as medieval myth, early modern financial incentive, racial construct, modern catalyst for pogroms and the expulsion of Jews, and political scare tactic—but rarely have there been opportunities to discuss such subjects across chronological and disciplinary borders. We will look at the blood libel as historical phenomenon, legal justification, economic mechanism, and visual and literary trope with ongoing political repercussions.

  • Poland and the Holocaust – Facts and Myths
    The Good Name Redoubt The Polish League Against Defamation Poland and the Holocaust – facts and myths Summary 1. Poland was the first and one of the major victims of World War II. 2. The extermination camps, in which several million people were murdered, were not Polish. These were German camps in Poland occupied by Nazi Germany. The term “Polish death camps” is contradictory to historical facts and grossly unfair to Poland as a victim of Nazi Germany. 3. The Poles were the first to alert European and American leaders about the Holocaust. 4. Poland never collaborated with Nazi Germany. The largest resistance movement in occupied Europe was created in Poland. Moreover, in occupied Europe, Poland was one of the few countries where the Germans introduced and exercised the death penalty for helping Jews. 5. Hundreds of thousands of Poles – at the risk of their own lives – helped Jews survive the war and the Holocaust. Poles make up the largest group among the Righteous Among the Nations, i.e. citizens of various countries who saved Jews during the Holocaust. 6. As was the case in other countries during the war, there were cases of disgraceful behaviour towards Jews in occupied Poland, but this was a small minority compared to the Polish society as a whole. At the same time, there were also instances of disgraceful behaviour by Jews in relation to other Jews and to Poles. 7. During the war, pogroms of the Jewish people were observed in various European cities and were often inspired by Nazi Germans. Along with the Jews, Polish people, notably the intelligentsia and the political, socio-economic and cultural elites, were murdered on a massive scale by the Nazis and by the Soviets.

Known in approximately 500 Latin manuscripts, far more than Bonaventura’s Meditationes vitae Christi, this was an extremely popular devotional work, with translations appearing in Middle High German, Middle Low German, Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Swedish, Danish, and English. Although most manuscripts attributed it to Bonaventura, the original Stimulus Amoris was the work of the thirteenth-century Franciscan friar Giacomo da Milano. His text is a series of spiritual exercises for meditation, leading to a progressive emotional engagement with the Passion, the goal being a mystical identification with Christ (DBI).
