Antisemitism and the Lutheran Response

Chuck Leib presented a summary of the two-part lecture: Why The Jews?, which was advertised in the Heartbeat a few months ago.

 

The lecture series examined the various forms of Christian anti-Judaism that have plagued societies across centuries. Participants learned the underlying ideologies and stereotypes that have fueled antisemitism and efforts to set Jewish and Christian communities on a new path of genuine fellowship. 

During his presentation, Chuck referenced some additional resources that provide more information. The presentation is attached in this post, and the links below take you to the resources he mentioned on the last slide.
