Christian Theology and Papal Policy in the Middle Ages

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter considers the impact of theological doctrine on papal policy toward the Jews in medieval Europe. Specifically, it focuses on the ambivalence toward Jews and Judaism inherent in the Augustinian doctrine of Jewish witness and its expression in the decrees of Gregory the Great, Innocent III, and those popes who first condemned the Talmud in the 13th century.
