The History of Christian Misunderstanding is written by a Christian author who traces the long history of Christian misunderstanding of Judaism. It is written for individuals who are concerned about the difficulties in Christian theology and history concerning the Jewish people. The author offers the Jewish story from the beginning, with a look at classic Christian stories which often condemmed Jews, even though the original intention was to build early Christianity. The author also looks closely at the Jewish origins of Christian liturgy, and sketches the forces--historical, theological, and political--that have governed Christian attitudes toward the Jewish people.
