However, as European expansion unfolded during the early modern period, this anxiety extended to individuals of color. This distressing legacy continues to haunt us even in the present day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristian Supremacy delves into the intricate web of theological and legal frameworks established by the church over centuries, shedding light on how they nurtured the seeds of antisemitism and anti-Black racism. It uncovers the profound connection between Christian identity and the perpetuation of violent white supremacy movements across the globe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn her captivating historical narrative, Magda Teter meticulously traces the trajectory of Christian theology in late antiquity, where Jews were dehumanized as \"children born to slavery.\" This degrading portrayal, sanctioned by the church, seeped into legal systems, perpetuating a sense of Christian dominance and superiority. As European colonialism emerged, a distinct manifestation of European Christian supremacy took shape, characterized by the legal enslavement and exploitation of people of color. This eventually evolved into the manifestation of white Christian supremacy in the New World.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristian Supremacy employs a diverse range of primary evidence, encompassing theological, legal, philosophical, and artistic sources. This comprehensive approach provides a profound and nuanced understanding of history, unveiling the enduring Christian heritage of exclusion, intolerance, and persecution that has shaped the modern rejection of Jewish and Black equality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough its exploration of this critical historical period, Christian Supremacy serves as a crucial reckoning with the past. It prompts us to confront the harmful legacies of religious bigotry and discrimination and work towards a more inclusive and equitable society for all. By acknowledging the historical roots of antisemitism and racism, we can strive to build a future where diversity is celebrated, and equality is a fundamental human right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 768g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 163 x 243 x 33 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780691242583\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Magda Teter","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44327445790970,"sku":"9780691242583","price":24.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1688737421129_book.jpg?v=1688887323","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/christian-supremacy-reckoning-with-the-roots-of-antisemitism-and-racism-9780691242583","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
