Freudmann, Lillian C. Antisemitism in the New Testament.
University Press of America; 1994. Paperback. ISBN 0-819192-95-3. [This book
studies the anti-Jewish contents of the "New Testament" on a thorough,
systematic, verse-by-verse basis. The author identifies every misquotation and
mistranslation from the Hebrew Bible and rebuts every antisemitic assertion in
the Christian Scriptures. The book examines the historical background in which
the Gospels and Epistles were written and how contemporary conditions affected
their contents. The final chapter deals with the impact of the New Testament on
Jews and Christians for the past two millennia and the possibilities of
revising this trend through alternate interpretations.]

Pantheon Books, 1992. Out of Print. [Discusses antisemitism from its beginnings
to the present, tracing it from its pagan roots to the Christian charge of
deicide and beyond, to the massacres of the Crusades and the Inquisition, which
heralded later blood libels and fantasies of Jewish conspiracies for world
domination. Focuses on the dramatic reemergence of antisemitism in the wake of
the collapse of Communism and the new national hysteria which has set the
ground burning under the feet of a still substantial Jewish minority. Provides
a country-by-country survey, showing the modern guise of antisemitism as it
appears today throughout the world.]
