Van-e igény az egyházban antiszemitizmusra?
Is there a Need for Anti-Semitism in the (Hungarian Reformed) Church?

Summary/Abstract: In 1519 Erasmus of Rotterdam wrote in a letter to Jacob Hoogstraeten: “If to be a Christian is to hate Jews, then we are all thoroughly Christian.” Our aim is to examine whether this sentence is in any way relevant – evidently under the changed circumstances– in the Transylvanian (Hungarian) Reformed Church. We show that the main cause of occasional Antisemitism is the anti-Semitic heritage of Christian Church, particularly the anti-Semitic heritage of Protestantism. After facing this heritage, we shape the theological, moral and psychological risks of Antisemitism / anti-Judaism. We conclude with Walter Brueggemann’s suggestion that the Christian-Jewish relationship needs to be rethought from time to time.
