The Doctrine of the Messiah: In Medieval Jewish Literature

Sarachek, Joseph

Of the many polemic works written in defense of Judaism in response to the relentless missionary activities of the Church none gained as wide a recognition by both Jews and Christians as Hizzuk Emunah. Written by the Karaite, Isaac Troki (1533-1594), it combines the forceful defense of Judaism with a bold refutation of Christian doctrines. In the first part of the book the author refutes the divinity of Jesus and demonstrates that he was not the Messiah predicted by the Prophets. He concludes this part with explaining all those obscure and difficult passages in the Bible which are repeatedly used in support of various Christian doctrines. The second part is devoted to a systematic critical examination of each book of the New Testament exposing their many glaring inconsistencies and contradictions. Hizzuk Emunah is a powerful polemic work which may well be considered an early forerunner of later textual criticism of the New Testament. In fact, through Wagenseil’s Latin translation its arguments became the object of passionate debate in Christian circles as early as the 17th century and were used by all freethinkers in the period of French Enlightenment including Voltaire. Thus it could be stated that this work, written by a Jew in defense of Judaism, had contributed to the intellectual ferment of the 18th century, which ultimately led to the French Revolution.

The Jew in Early English Literature

Michelson, Dr. H.

The violent conflict that raged over the philosophic writings of Maimonides in the 13th century was far from being an isolated episode in Jewish history. The conflict between Maimonists and Anti-Maimonists, which continued intermittently for several centuries involving the Jewish communities of several countries, is a most important chapter in the history of ideas shedding much light on the medieval mind. Faith and Reason is a painstaking reconstruction of this conflict in all its details. With much skill and labor, Dr. Saracheck has produced a volume which gives the reader a clear insight into the issues of the controversy, analyses the character of its major participants and reveals many interesting sides of medieval communal life. Above all, it clarifies the fundamental motives behind the conflict against the background of similar clashes within Christendom over heresies in the 13th century.
