What, if anything, does religion have to do with how reliable we
perceive one another to be? When and how did religious difference
matter in the past when it came to trusting the word of another? In
today's world, we take for granted that being Jewish should not
matter when it comes to acting or engaging in the public realm, but
this was not always the case. The essays in this volume look at how
and when Jews were recognized as reliable and trustworthy in the
areas of jurisprudence, medicine, politics, academia, culture,
business, and finance. As they explore issues of trust and
mistrust, the authors reveal how caricatures of Jews move through
religious, political, and legal systems. While the volume is framed
as an exploration of Jewish and Christian relations, it grapples
with perceptions of Jews and Jewishness from the biblical period to
today, from the Middle East to North America, and in Ashkenazi and
Sephardi traditions. Taken together these essays reflect on the
mechanics of trust, and sometimes mistrust, in everyday
interactions involving Jews.
