Sinopsis

This book reconstructs an unprecedented initiative for world evangelisation of Jews in the years before, during and after the Nazi Holocaust. It reveals the ways in which a broad toleration of traditional anti-Judaism allowed, under a banner of Christian benevolence, a transnational discourse of antisemitic ideas masked in conversionary language.

De la contraportada

Tracking the Jews analyses the beliefs, ideas, concepts, arguments and policies of the people who tracked the Jews in an unprecedented conversionary initiative during the years immediately before, during and after the Holocaust.

From the rubbles of World War I to the ashes of World War II, this book reconstructs previously unknown relations between an ecumenical Protestant framework for global evangelization of Jews, the network of international bodies that constituted the ecumenical Protestant movement of the early twentieth century, and the streams of thought on antisemitism and the Jewish question that flowed through its networking channels. Based on more than twenty thousand pages of archival documents from European, British and North American archives, it forces from the shadows the conversionary issues in which nineteen centuries of negative Church teachings on Jews were rooted, bringing to light a field of ardently held transnational beliefs about the place, role, and destiny of Jews in world society. It sets into sobering relief the paradoxical ways in which a broad international toleration of traditional anti-Judaism allowed, under a banner of intended Christian benevolence, an incendiary public discourse of antisemitic ideas, concepts, images and claims masked in theological conversionary language.
