The place and significance of Martin Luther in the long history of
Christian anti-Jewish polemic has been and continues to be a
contested issue. The literature on the subject is substantial, and
diverse. While efforts to exonerate Luther as merely a man of his
times who merely perpetuated what he had received from his cultural
and theological tradition have rightly been jettisoned, there still
persists even among the educated public the perception that the
truly problematic aspects of Luthers anti-Jewish attitudes are
confined to the final stages of his career. It is true that Luthers
anti-Jewish rhetoric intensified toward the end of his life, but
reading Luther with a careful eye toward the Jewish question, it
becomes clear that Luthers theological presuppositions toward
Judaism and the Jewish people are a central, core component of his
thought throughout his career, not just at the end. It follows then
that it is impossible to understand the heart and building blocks
of Luthers theology (justification, faith, liberation, salvation,
grace) without acknowledging the crucial role of the Jews in his
fundamental thinking.
