This paper summarizes and analyzes the reasons Ruth Ruether's book "Faith and Fratricide: The Theological Roots of Anti-Semitism" provides for the ongoing and pervasive anti-semitism as said at https://primetimeessay.com/discuss-ways-violence-presented-leda-swan/ in societies throughout the world. The paper offers a positive review of the book and of Ruether's ability to explain the anti-semitism that has arisen again and again in Christian communities. "It is probably a good thing that this book was written by a scholar who is known, overall as said at https://www.state.gov/s/rga/resources/267538.htm, to be sympathetic to Christianity because if it were not the work of such a scholar it might well come off as something of a hatchet job. Ruether is not interested in apologizing for the often (at best) Machiavellian actions of early church leaders - but nor is she interested in tarring everyone equally. Her case against individuals is made carefully, with a fine attention given to building up each case deliberatively and with due attention paid to the ways in which evidence from such a long time ago must be assessed."
