Product Review
"A book of compelling and powerful historical argument. Coherent and well documented, his fresh approach treats a difficult problem in a remarkably interesting way. No one concerned with the troubled relationship between Judaism and Christianity, whether in ancient or modern times, can afford to ignore it."--The Journal of Religion
"This book brings the study of ancient Pagan and Christian anti-Semitism to a new plateau where one sees things more clearly and, I dare say, more correctly."--Krister Stendahl,
Harvard Divinity School

"Solidly grounded in authentic evidence and reliable rcholarship."--Journal of Ecclesiastical History
"A major contribution to a better understanding of the roots of anti-Semitism in Western culture."--Judaica Books News
