(More customer reviews)Marilyn Salmon has done a great service for preachers in laying bare many of the unconscious sources of anti-semitism in Christian preaching. Many who wish to speak respectfully and accurately of the Jews of Jesus'time (and now, for that matter) will find her outline of the context in which the gospels and other New Testament material developed. The book will be particularly helpful for churches that follow the Western liturgical calendar using lectionaries such as the Revised Common Lectionary. Useful for any preacher; vital for beginning preachers.

Marilyn Salmon's persuasive and practical work helps preachers to identify the ways that Christian preachers perpetuate the long tradition of Christian anti-Judaism. She situates the Gospels precisely as Jewish literature then addresses specific thorny issues that arise in preaching: supersessionism; portrayals of the Law; the Pharisees; the relationship between the Testaments; preaching the Passion; and misrepresentations of Judaism. Using examples from many sermons, she shows how to avoid the pitfalls of misportraying the people of Jesus.
