ElaineY's Reading Rambles
Hey, I gotta fill that blank space between my ears when I'm not working on the cure for cancer or reversing climate change.

This is one of my prized books on Christian history. I've been interested in the Jews even before I became a Christian 35 years ago. I was even more interested in why the Christian Church wasn't. Why did my church, and the rest of Christendom, shove the Jews aside when Jesus was a Jew?
Many, many books later, I finally understood why and this illustrated history of the attitudes towards the Jews by the Church has been invaluable to me as I sought to be convinced that there were, indeed, Christians who hated Jews; when I sought to understand, and believe, that such a thing as Replacement Theology existed.
I used the illustrations in this book for a Powerpoint Presentation of the History of Ant-Semitism called Parting of the Ways. I wish there were a version of this book with removable plates because it was very difficult to photocopy the prints.
