This book explores the complexity of preaching as a phenomenon in the medieval Jewish-Christian encounter. This was not only an "encounter" as physical meeting or confrontation (such as the forced attendance of Jews at Christian sermons that took place across Europe); but also an "imaginary" or theological encounter in which Jews remained a figure from a distant constructed time and place who served only to underline and verify Christian teachings. Contributors also explore the Jewish response to Christian anti-Jewish preaching in their own preaching and religious instruction.

The lie of "Islamophobia"By CustomerThis book is full of Leftist "received" wisdom and group self delusion. It's only value is in it's exposure of the constant disingenuousness and mendacity of the academic Left; as usual; in time of war.
