Contributors discuss how Jews have been used, through time, to validate non-Jewish beliefs. The volume dissects the dilemmas and challenges this pattern has presented to Jews. Throughout history, Jews and Judaism have served to legitimize the beliefs of Gentiles. Jews functioned as Augustine?s witnesses to the truth of Christianity, as Christian Kabbalist?s source for Protestant truths, as an argument for the enlightened claim for tolerance, as the focus of modern Christian Zionist reverence, and as a weapon of contemporary right wing populism against fears of Islamization. This volume challenges understandings of Jewish-Gentile relations, offering a counter-perspective to discourses of antisemitism and philosemitism. . 606 $aJudaism and culture 606 $aEurope?History?1492- 606 $aReligions 606 $aJewish Cultural Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A6020 606 $aHistory of Modern Europe$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717080 606 $aComparative Religion$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A1000 615 0$aJudaism and culture. 615 0$aEurope?History?1492-. 615 0$aReligions. 615 14$aJewish Cultural Studies. 615 24$aHistory of Modern Europe. 615 24$aComparative Religion. 676 $a296.38 702 $aWertheim$b David J$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163042203321 996 $aThe Jew as Legitimation$92055800 997 $aUNINA
