Against the Jews (Jan Chryzostom)


Adversus Judaeos, Saint. Jan Chryzostom (gr κατα Ιουδαιων, Against Jews) - a collection of homilies from the 4th century delivered by Jan Chryzostom to his believers at the church in Antioch, who continued to observe Jewish fasts and feasts, gaining the name of Judaizers. To dissuade them from these practices, the preacher described Judaism and synagogues in his city in the most evil light possible. Modern scholars see in the preaching of Chrysostom a feed for later Christian anti-Semitism. Some, like Stephen Katz, go even further by saying that it was an inspiration for pagan Nazi anti-Semitism and its evil fruit in the form of annihilation of the Jewish race. During the Second World War, the Nazi party in Germany used Chiliostom's homilies, often quoting and reprinting, in order to legitimize the Holocaust in the eyes of German and Austrian Christians.
