The Church and Institutional Anti-Semitism (PDF and Podcast)
The Church has an appalling history regarding the Jewish people, so it's no wonder we just want to be left alone -and certainly want nothing to do with this 'Christian Messiah' in whose name we have been persecuted and killed for nearly two millennia.
The Church should not, however, bury its head in the sand but should acknowledge the role it has played - and then better understand the attitudes, motivations and aspirations of its long lost Brother - the Jewish people.
These study notes cover a whistle-stop tour of the two thousand years since Messiah was crucified until the modern era.

I found session One very
I found session One very interesting and could not possibly disagree with virtually all of it. As a member of the Welsh Baptist Chapel. The Old testament was very important to me and my family. Inseparable from the new testament. I shall look forward to reading the rest of the notes. Shalom Joseph
