Elisheva Baumgarten’s work stands as a model for students and scholars alike in its comprehensive review of little-known writings and other sources from medieval Ashkenazi Jews as well as in its meticulous analysis of the often ambiguous writings. In Mothers and Children, Baumgarten examines a plethora of primary sources to explore the inner dynamics of Jewish families; she then uses this information to draw objective conclusions about the relationship between the Jewish and Christian communities in the middle ages.

Additionally, Davis’s monograph explores detailed information regarding the shift of many people at the time from Catholicism to Protestantism, which is extremely important to the

These two views do not contradict each other, but they do look at the shift in thought differently. Schwartz takes the idea that, “each person can be saved in his own religion, “and develops a study of Christian perspectives on Islam and Judaism through the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisition documentation and trials. Schwartz analyzed cultural attitudes and thoughts towards religious differences from the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries in Spain and Portugal (Schwartz, pg. 6). Spanish and Portuguese inquisitional records captured the stories from unknown common folk and what they thought about the world they lived in, and their feelings towards what was right when dealing with religious tolerance (Schwartz, pg. 6). By not only questioning individuals but also looking at the people around that individuals and how they interacted and practiced their beliefs, Schwartz uncovered evidence for religious toleration over a course of a few centuries. These views varied from different religious individuals such as Jews, Christians, and Muslims throughout his whole book. It is important for readers of this book to decipher between “tolerance” and “toleration.” Schwartz’s book is about “the history of religious toleration, by which is usually meant state or community policy, but rather of tolerance, by which I mean attitudes or sentiments” (Schwartz, pg. 6). European leaders believed unity of religious beliefs facilitated political stability, showing religious tolerance advocates were the protagonists in this book. People during these centuries were still eager to discover how to gain salvation. Salvation began to play its own role in the spiritual and political atmosphere of society. This change in roles started to challenge the churches views of the natural world and how much

Ancestrally Jewish, Luis de la Ysla, born Abraham Abzaradiel in 1484, was forced to leave Spain at the age of eight. Just before his thirteenth birthday, Abraham was baptized, converted to Christianity, took on the alias “Luis de la Ysla”, and returned to his Spanish homeland before beginning his travels. As Ysla traveled through the Mediterranean, his connection to his homeland, his need to support himself and his desire for community drives him to change his religious identity as it suits him. His autobiographical account, although difficult to corroborate, provides an important portrait of how Jews responded to their expulsion from Spain.

Levine’s book titled The Misunderstood Jew: The Church and the Scandal of the Jewish Jesus proves to be a highly informative resource when trying to understand the intricate relationship between Christianity and Judaism. Levine’s primary objective seems to be a desire to address the idea that there is a vast, irreconcilable disparity between the beliefs and practices of Christians and Jews. Levine’s central argument focuses upon a common misperception of this dissimilarity: it is the result of Jesus being in direct opposition to Judaism. Furthermore, she contends that only a decided openness and interfaith dialogue between Christianity and Judaism can truly provide the most complete and compelling portrait of Jesus’s life and work. To me, the most edifying facet of Levine’s argument was her call to anchor Jesus within the historical and cultural context in which he was teaching in order to best understand his work and his message. Levine not only provides support for this idea throughout The Misunderstood Jew, but near the end of the novel also offers up ways in which both Christians and Jews can reconcile these two ostensibly conflicting perceptions of Jesus. Therefore, in this essay, I will analyze Levine’s arguments regarding the importance of historical/cultural context in Chapter One and Chapter Four while synthesizing it with her solutions presented in Chapter Seven.

Though the events of Le Mans took place earlier than those of Mainz, it is not unthinkable that this attitude of martyrdom was developed over time from a simple aversion to converting. Jews and Christians had become distinctly separate groups in society, with Jews living in isolated communities in Christian establishments. This is evident in The Chronicle of Le

The history of the Jewish people in Spain is certainly a pivotal time period that changed the future of the Jews and specifically, the Sephardic Jews. At the time of the issuing and signing of the Edict of Expulsion on March 31, 1492, Spanish Jews were experiencing the most persecution that had been felt in the many centuries of which the Jews had been in Spain. Spanish Jewry came to a dramatic end after almost a millennium of Jewish presence in the country. Spanish Jewry’s golden age, however, the Jews experienced almost no persecution, resulting in a new centre of Talmudic study, before suffering from a relapse of anti-Semitism that eventually led to the Inquisition and the Edict of Expulsion. (SOURCE 1) This essay will discuss and analyze

Since the beginning of the Judaism, the Jewish people have been subject to hardships and discrimination. They have not been allowed to have a stabile place of worship and have also faced persecution and atrocities that most of us can not even imagine. Three events that have had a big impact on the Jewish faith were the building and destruction of the First Great Temple, the Second Great Temple and the events of the Holocaust. In this paper, I will discuss these three events and also explain and give examples as to why I feel that the Jewish people have always been discriminated against and not allowed the freedom of worship.

This paper is going to discuss the Crusades’ religious meaning as a cleansing, the religious motivations to defeat the enemies of Christendom, the religious manifestations of sewing the sign of the Cross on clothes, and role of religious institutions, more specifically the Papacy. I will use the sources given to me to explain the different topic I listed before. I will use both primary and secondary sources. The Crusades’ had many different religious meanings. One of which was a Crusade as cleansing.

The Protestant Reformation of the Catholic Church devastated the religious unity of Christian Europe, resulting in a great deal of antagonism, which in turn led to the persecutions, denial of civil rights, expulsion, and ultimately the torture and death of many men, women and children. The ongoing conflict was not consigned to one distinct European nation, but was experienced in every European nation that the Catholic Church ruled and reigned. There was no worldview in Europe at that time that allowed for the religious differences of men to coexist peaceably.

Overall, there are a number of similarities in the two faiths’ treatment of minority religions. Still, an examination of Medieval Christians' inter-faith relations finds a history of religious diplomacy much more fragmented than that of the Muslims. In Christianity, tolerance and persecution were part of the ebb and flow of the passage of power from one ruler to the next, as well as the power struggle between the church and the state. On the other hand, Muslims had no such struggle; their church and state were one and the same. Unlike Christians, they did not have separate laws for the sacred and profane, the secular and religious. The passage of power from one Islamic ruler to the next rarely brought with it radical amendments in the treatment of infidels, although exceptions did exist.

Americans, goaded on by hate groups, feared that Catholics would pay allegiance to their “foreign King” (the Pope) rather than their new country (Pencak, 110).  Although there was a strong argument for this, as much of the Italian immigrant

Have you ever noticed that when people talk of Jews, at least in a protestant church, that the Israelite legalism, rituals, dress and hair standards are the first things to mind? The topic of Judaism may come with stereotypical opinions and “Christian Judgement” that are without merit or understanding. Judaism, by a Christian worldview, had to change after Pentecost, since the animal sacrifice to atone for sin Christ completed on the Cross. However, Judaism does not accept this truth of Christ and His work on the cross, but Judaism remains in the world. So, what was this change in Judaism and when did it take place? There have been numerous fluctuations within Judaism, only the theme constructed in this essay has its foundations around the most important facet of Judaism- the Temple. With the Temple in the forefront of this essay, we will discuss the modifications that Judaism went through, at what time, different perspectives that the destruction of the Temple had, and how the Christian sect views these vagaries. The Temple destruction of A.D. 70 converted the Jewish faith in its singular fashion, while, at the same point, the Jewish faith never had a total change by always changing throughout time.
