Using a psychological approach, this book examines the archetype of
the Jew who killed Christ. The author traces the development of the
archetype in the four gospels, the letters of Paul and the Book of
Acts, showing how it grows from disagreements and discussions
between Jesus and others about the law; to more heated encounters,
to vicious accusations, to overt accusations of deicide. The core
of the book is a description of the disciples' response to the
crucifixion: their horror, shock, guilt, shame (at their desertion
and betrayal), the development of projected blame on the Jews, and
the deification of the resurrected Jesus. The author argues that
this belief system is inherent in Christianity, is archetypal, that
its roots are as deep and as early as the first experiences of the
risen Jesus, and is part and parcel of nascent christologies,
soteriologies, and ultimately theologies that evolved in the early
church. And, tragically, underlies the banal and evil impulse that
led to the Shoah.
