"(T)he Cutlers' analysis of the medieval situation adds a new dimension to our comprehension of the way Christian-Jewish relations developed. And indeed, insofar as Christian anti-Semitism does owe something historically to the Muslim-Jewish relation, to that extent it may be a more transient phenomenon...than is sometimes supposed. To put it another way, the less we see the charge of deicide as the one and only historic core of the Christian persecution of Jews, the more clearly we may envisage an abatement of anti-Semitism." —Commentary"(T)he Cutlers, both lawyers, offer a wide-ranging reinterpretation of medieval Jewish history and literature." —Speculum"There is much in this volume to be admired, including the broad sweep of the scholarship, which ranges from antiquity to contemporary affairs, the highly idealistic tone that animates the study, and the consistent call forcomparative analysis of historical issues involving the Jews." —Robert Chazan, New York University
