Über dieses Buch

The problem of “Luther and the Jews” has received much attention since World War II. Many consider there to be a direct line leading from Martin Luther to policies carried out in the Third Reich. This has led Jews to distance themselves from Luther as a religious figure. The present work revisits Luther’s anti-Semitism and seeks to understand the compound factors that inform it. Recognizing these factors, it explores how Luther can serve as a teacher and a paradigm for how religion can turn violent and destructive and seeks to draw the appropriate lessons.
