Overview

Marilyn Salmon's persuasive and practical work helps preachers to identify the ways that Christian preachers perpetuate the long tradition of Christian anti-Judaism. She situates the Gospels precisely as Jewish literature then addresses specific thorny issues that arise in preaching: supersessionism; portrayals of the Law; the Pharisees; the relationship between the Testaments; preaching the Passion; and misrepresentations of Judaism. Using examples from many sermons, she shows how to avoid the pitfalls of misportraying the people of Jesus.

... gives preachers remarkably helpful advice... Her book is centrally important in helping the church bear witness to a message of life and wellbeing for all instead of one that is good news for some at the expense of bad news for others. Highly recommended! -- Clark Williamson, Emeritus, Christian Theological Seminary
