Summary

Until now, there existed no comprehensive single-volume history of Jewish–Christian relations worldwide. This book offers a chronological and thematic approach to that 2,000-year history, based on some 200 primary documents, each chosen for its centrality to the encounter. An accessible publication aimed at scholars, teachers and students, clerics and lay people, and anyone interested in the history of religion, it provides a detailed commentary on each document to shed light on its significance in the history of the Jewish–Christian relationship.

Written by leading international scholars in the field, each chapter introduces the context for its historical period and draws out the key themes arising from the documents. The Documentary History is a systematic and authoritative work on the encounter between Jews and Christians, reflecting both its often troubled history and the massive changes of attitude and approach to the question of Jewish–Christian relations in more recent centuries.
