History of anti-Judaism
Anti-Judaism in the Roman Empire
In Rome and throughout the Roman Empire, religion was an integral part of the civil government. The Roman Empire was the post-Republican phase of the ancient Roman civilization, characterised by an autocratic form of government and large territorial The Emperor was declared to be a god and demanded to be worshiped accordingly. [2] This created religious difficulties for Jews, who were prohibited from worshiping any other god then that of Judaism. PLEASE TAKE NOTE************ Judaism (from the Greek Ioudaïsmos, derived from the Hebrew יהודה Yehudah, " Judah " in Hebrew יַהֲדוּת Yahedut This created civil problems in the relations between Rome and its Jewish subjects, as well as for worshipers of Mithras, worshipers of Sabazius, and Christianity.

Christianity ( Greek Χριστιανισμός from the word Xριστός ( Christ)is a monotheistic Religion centered on the life and teachings [3]
Early Christian anti-Judaism
Christianity commenced its existence as a small sect within Judaism. See also Schisms among the Jews, Origins of Christianity The split between Pharisaic / Rabbinic Judaism (the period of the Tannaim) Biblical law in Christianity generally refers to a discussion as to what and how the biblical law applies in a Christian context. Judaism (from the Greek Ioudaïsmos, derived from the Hebrew יהודה Yehudah, " Judah " in Hebrew יַהֲדוּת Yahedut It was seen as such by the early Christians, as well as Jews in general. Early Christianity is commonly defined as the Christianity of the three centuries between the Crucifixion of Jesus ( c PLEASE TAKE NOTE************ The wider Roman administration would not have understood any distinction.

A schism emerged between early Christian "Judaizers" — those who insisted that in order to be Christian one must observe the Jewish practice of circumcision[6], and "universalizers" — those who insisted that the nascent faith was open to everyone. The word schism (ˈsɪzəm or /ˈskɪzəm/ from the Greek σχίσμα skhísma (from σχίζω skhízō, "to tear to split" Judaizers, see also WiktionaryJudaization, generally describes those who inculcate to Christians the adherence to Torah Laws, which is normally considered Male Circumcision, when practiced as a rite has its foundations in the Bible, in the Abrahamic covenant, such as, and is therefore practiced by Jews [7] The teachings of St. Paul the Apostle, whose letters comprise much of the New Testament, demonstrate a "long battle against Judaizing.

Today most Christian denominations are neutral about biblical male circumcision, neither requiring it nor forbidding it )
First century Jews who did not believe Jesus was the Jewish Messiah, nor the claims of his followers that he was God (see also Rejection of Jesus), led to the eventual parting of the ways between Christians and Jews. The 1st century was the Century that lasted from 1 to 100 according the Julian calendar. Jesus of Nazareth (7–2 BC / BCE —26–36 AD / CE) Messiah ( משיח; mashiah, moshiah, mashiach, or moshiach, ("anointed " is a term used in the Hebrew Bible Despite recording many Miracles of Jesus, particularly in Capernaum, the Gospels also record some Rejection of Jesus. [8] "To the question, Was Jesus God or man?, the Christians therefore answered: both. Hypostatic union (from the Greek, "hypostasis" translated reality or person) is a technical term in Christian Theology employed After 70 AD, their answer was unanimous and increasingly emphatic. This made a complete breach with Judaism inevitable. "[9] The destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE would lead Christians to "doubt the efficacy of the ancient law"[10] though Ebionism would linger on until the fifth century. The Second Temple (בית המקדש romanized 'Beit HaMikdash' meaning 'Holy House' was the reconstructed Temple in Jerusalem which stood between 516 BCE and 70 CE The Ebionites ( Greek: grc Ἐβιωναῖοι Ebionaioi from Hebrew; he '''אביונים''' he-Latn ''Ebyonim'' "the Poor Ones" were an However, Marcion of Sinope, who advocated rejecting the entirety of Judaic influence on the Christian faith,[11] would be excommunicated by the Church in Rome in 144 CE.

Excommunication is a religious Censure used to deprive or suspend membership in a religious community [12]
Most modern scholars believe that Judaism may have been a missionary religion in the early centuries of the common era,[13] (see also Proselyte), and thus competition for the religious loyalties of gentiles drove anti-Judaism. A missionary is a member of a Religion who works to convert those who do not share the missionary's faith someone who proselytizes. Proselyte, from the Koine Greek προσήλυτος/proselytos, is used in the Septuagint for "stranger" i [14] The debate and dialogue moved from polemic to bitter verbal and written attacks one against the other. To Tarfon (d. Rabbi Tarfon or Tarphon, ( Hebrew: רבי טרפון, from the Greek Tryphon) a member of the third generation of the Mishnah 135 CE) is attributed a statement about whether scrolls could be left to burn in a fire on the Sabbath. A disputed[15][16][17][18] interpretation identifies these books with the Gospels (q. This article is about the canonical books of the New Testament v.

The Epistle of Mathetes to Diognetus is probably the earliest example of Christian apologetics, writings defending Christianity from its accusers [19] Saint Justin Martyr (d. Saint Justin Martyr (also Justin the Martyr, Justin of Caesarea, Justin the Philosopher, Latin Iustinus Martyr or Flavius 165 CE) wrote the apologetic Dialogue with Trypho,[20] a polemical debate giving the Christian assertions for the Messiahship of Jesus by making use of the Old Testament contrasted with counter-arguments from a fictionalized version of Tarphon. In Western Christianity, the Old Testament refers to the books that form the first of the two-part Christian Biblical canon. [21] "For centuries defenders of Christ and the enemies of the Jews employed no other method" than these apologetics. [19] Apologetics were difficult as gentile converts could not be expected to understand Hebrew; translations of the Septuagint into Greek prior to Aquila would serve as a flawed basis for such cross-cultural arguments,[22] as demonstrated by Origen's difficulties debating Rabbi Simlai.

In modern Olympic and amateur Wrestling, Greco-Roman wrestling is a particular style and variation [25] Feelings of mutual hatred arose, driven in part by Judaism's legality in the Roman Empire; in Antioch, where the rivalry was most bitter, Jews most likely demanded the execution of Polycarp.

From Constantine to the Eighth century
When Constantine and Licinius were issuing the Edict of Milan, the influence of Judaism was fading in the Land of Israel and seeing a rebirth in far outside of the Roman Empire in Babylonia. Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus (27 February ca. 272 &ndash 22 May 337 commonly known as Constantine I, Constantine the Great, or Saint Constantine For other Romans of this name see Licinius (gens.

After his defeat of Licinius in 323 CE, Constantine showed Christians marked political preference. He repressed Jewish proselytism and forbade Jews from circumcising their slaves. Male circumcision is the removal of some or all of the Foreskin (prepuce from the Penis. [30] Jews were barred from Jerusalem except on the anniversary of the Second Temple's destruction (Tisha B'Av) and then only after paying a special tax in silver.

Christendom usually refers to Christianity as a territorial phenomenon "No sooner was [the Church] armed than it forgot its most elementary principles, and directed the secular arm against its enemies. "[31]
From the middle of the fifth century, apologetics ceased with Cyril of Alexandria. Cyril of Alexandria (ca 378 - 444 was the Pope of Alexandria when the city was at its height of influence and power within the Roman Empire. [32] This form of anti-Judaism had proven futile and often served to strengthen Jewish faith. [32] With Christianity ascendant in the Empire, the "Fathers, the bishops, and the priest who had to contend against the Jews treated them very badly.

From the fourth to seventh centuries, while the bishops taught anti-Judaism in writing, the Empire enacted a variety of civil laws against Jews, such forbidding them from holding public office, and an oppressive curial tax. [31] Laws were enacted to harass their free observance of religion; Justinian went so far as to enact a law against Jewish daily prayers. Flavius Petrus Sabbatius Iustinianus ( Greek: Φλάβιος Πέτρος Σαββάτιος Ιουστινιανός; known in English as Justinian I or The Corpus Juris Civilis ("Body of Civil Law" is the modern name for a collection of fundamental works in Jurisprudence, issued from 529 [31] Both Christians and Jews engaged in recorded mob violence in the waning days of the Empire.

The pattern wherein Jews were relatively free under pagan rulers until the Catholic conversion of the leadership, as seen with Constantine, would be repeated in the lands beyond the now collapsed Roman Empire. Sigismund of Burgundy enacted laws against Jews after coming to the throne after his conversion in 514;[37] likewise after the conversion of Reccared, king of the Visigoths in 589, which would have lasting effect when codified by Reccesuinth in the Visigothic Code of Law.

After the eighth century
Beginning with the eight century, legislation against heresies grew more severe. The Church, once confining itself to only the powers of canon law increasingly appealed to secular powers, and heretics such as the Vaudois, Albigenses, Beghards, Apostolic Brothers, Luciferians were "treated with cruelty"[39] which culminated in the 13th century establishment of the Inquisition by Pope Innocent III.

They sent forth metaphysicians such as Amaury de Béne and David de Dinan; the Pasagians followed Mosaic Law; the Orleans heresy was a Jewish heresy; the Albigens taught Jewish doctrine as superior to Christian; the Dominicans preached against both the Hussites and their Jewish supporters and thus the imperial army sent to advance on Jan Ziska massacred Jews along the way.

Usury became a proximate cause of much anti-Jewish sentiment during the Middle Ages. Usury (ˈjuːʒəri comes from the Medieval Latin usuria, "interest" or "excessive interest" from the Latin usura "interest" [40] In Italy and later Poland and Germany, John of Capistrano stirred up the poor against the usury of the Jews; Bernardinus of Feltre, aided by the practical notion of establishing mont-de-piétés, called for the expulsion of Jews all over Italy and Tyrol and caused the massacre of the Jews at Trent.

[41] But while it sometimes interfered on behalf of the Jews when they were the objects of mob fury, it was at the same time fueled the fury by combating Judaism; it persecuted Judaism in all its forms as it strove to reduce all anti-Christian elements at work in Europe. Anti-christian sentiment is a negative Bias against Christians or the Religion of Christianity. [41]
In the Reformation

Martin Luther has been accused of antisemitism, primarily in relation to his statements about Jews in his book On the Jews and their Lies, which describes the Jews in extremely harsh terms, excoriating them, and providing detailed recommendation for a pogrom against them and their permanent oppression and/or expulsion. Martin Luther (1483-1546 a German Reformation leader had a significant influence on German antisemitism by his harsh anti-Jewish statements and writings Martin Luther (November 10 1483 February 18 1546 was a German Monk, theologian, university professor Father of Protestantism, and church reformer PLEASE TAKE NOTE************ On the Jews and Their Lies (Von den Jüden und iren Lügen in modern spelling de ''Von den Juden und ihren Lügen'' is a 65000-word treatise written by German Reformation A pogrom is a form of Riot directed against a particular group whether ethnic religious or other and characterized by destruction of their Homes Businesses According to Paul Johnson, it "may be termed the first work of modern anti-Semitism, and a giant step forward on the road to the Holocaust".

Peter Martyr Vermigli, a shaper of Reformed Protestantism, took pains to maintain the contradiction, going back to Paul of Tarsus, of Jews being both enemy and friend, writing: "The Jews are not odious to God for the very reason they are Jews; for how could this have happened since they were embellished with so many great gifts.

Contrasted with antisemitism
"The question of the relation of traditional Christian anti-Judaism and modern antisemitism" has "ignite[d] explosive debates" among scholars. Origins of religious antisemitism Father Edward Flannery in his The Anguish of the Jews Twenty-Three Centuries of Antisemitism, traces the first clear examples Antisemitism (alternatively spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism; also rarely known as judeophobia) is the Prejudice against or hostility [45]
Whereas, according to historian Gavin Langmuir, anti-Judaism is concerned with exaggerated accusations against Jews which nonetheless contain a particle of truth or evidence, antisemitism (which dates back in Europe to the twelfth and thirteenth centuries) reaches beyond unusual general inferences and is concerned with false suppositions. Gavin I Langmuir (1924&mdash2005 was a veteran of World War II an Historian of Anti-Semitism, and a Medievalist at Stanford University. Antisemitism (alternatively spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism; also rarely known as judeophobia) is the Prejudice against or hostility [46] Thus Langmuir considers the labelling of Jews as 'Christ-killers' is anti-Judaic; accusations of well-poisoning, on the other hand, he regards as antisemitic. Jewish Deicide is an Antisemitic canard that placed the Responsibility for the death of Jesus on the Jewish people as a whole For the logical fallacy see Poisoning the well. Well-poisoning is the act of malicious manipulation of potable water resources in [46] In his view, anti-Judaism and antisemitism have existed side by side from the twelfth century onwards and have strengthened each other ever since. [47] The blood libel is another example of antisemitism, though it is based in distorted notions of Judaism.
