Christianity Today Posts a Strong Condemnation of Anti-Semitism
“Killing Jesus’ Brothers and Sisters” is the title of a powerful op-ed by Christianity Today editor-in-chief Mark Galli, posted on January 3. Christianity Today was founded by Billy Graham in 1956 and remains one of the most influential Evangelical Christian publications today. The subtitle of the op-ed raises two questions for Christians: “Why did we turn on the Jews so quickly? And what do we do about it now?” Galli addresses these questions with an unflinching look at Christian history and at some essential biblical texts, and raises a clear call to repentance.
Russ Resnik, UMJC Rabbinic Counsel, has written a response in appreciation of Galli’s bold stand, especially at this time of increased anti-Semitic activity. He builds a biblical case for a further step in repudiating anti-Semitism.
