Echoes of Contempt is an engaging and vivid account of the tragic history of the church's relationship with Jewish communities over two millennia. <br/> Beginning with the Jerusalem house church, the book traces that history through medieval pogroms and the Parisian salons of the Enlightenment, right up to the present-day focus on the Israel/Palestine conflict. <br/> Drawing on a wide range of sources and his own extensive knowledge, the author shows that, far from being something new, Judeophobia is a recycling of misinformation, prejudice, and hatred. The old lies are echoed in the present at political rallies, church conferences, and in classrooms. <br/> While the book is accessible to those who have very little previous knowledge of the subject, it is well-researched and retains a sophisticated approach. <br/> It is more than a reminder of the church's complicity in the centuries of contempt that led to Auschwitz–it is a call to action. It will challenge many to think again.
