The long and seemingly never-ending history of anti-Semitism has its roots in the ancient world. In this course we will study the literary evidence of ancient anti-Semitism in Greco-Roman society as well as anti-Jewish polemics in early Christian literature. We will place the phenomenon of ancient hatred of Jews in its historical context and also take a close look at Jewish responses to these polemics.
