Schäfer, Peter 1943-

Judeophobia Attitudes toward the Jews in the ancient world Peter Schäfer - U.S.A. Harvard University Press 1997 - 306tr. Hardcover 24 cm

Judeophobia firmly establishes Hellenistic Egypt as the generating source of anti-Semitism, with roots extending back into Egypt's per-Hellenistic history. A pattern of ingrained hostility toward an alien culture emerges when Schafer surveys an illuminating spectrum of comments on Jews and their religion in Greek and Roman writings.... To the hatred and fear, ingredients of Christian theology were soon added - a mix all too familiar in Western history.
