Echoes of Contempt

History & Biography

“In an excellent, clearly written, and accessible book, Bruce Thompson outlines the baleful, shameful, and wholly regrettable history of Judeophobia. It begins with the early church and with deteriorating relations between Jewish Christians and the Jewish synagogue, and ends . . . with timely warnings about present-day antagonism towards the State of Israel, which so easily leads to antisemitism and condemnation of the Jewish people. . . . Antisemitism is still rearing its ugly head and for this attitude to turn to verbal abuse and then to violence, all it takes is for good people to do nothing. . . . May we all resist such an eventuality.”
