In recent years, the mask of tolerant, secular, multicultural Europe has                  been shattered by new forms of antisemitic crime. Though many of the perpetrators do                  not profess Christianity, antisemitism has flourished in Christian Europe. In this                  book, thirteen scholars of European history, Jewish studies, and Christian theology                  examine antisemitism's insidious role in Europe's intellectual and political life.                  The essays reveal that annihilative antisemitic thought was not limited to Germany,                  but could be found in the theology and liturgical practice of most of Europe's                  Christian churches. They dismantle the claim of a distinction between Christian                  anti-Judaism and neo-pagan antisemitism and show that, at the heart of Christianity,                  hatred for Jews overwhelmingly formed the milieu of 20th-century Europe.
