CAMERA's Partnership of Christians and Jews
is also excited to announce its new curriculum:

"An Urgent Response to an Ancient Scourge:
A Christian Curriculum to Combat Jew-Hatred"

Our curriculum is appropriate for high school students, college students and adults and is designed to address the alarming rise of Jew-hatred and anti-Zionism in all spheres of society, including the church world and Christian schools. In response to the growing phenomenon of hatred of Jews and Israel, this biblically based curriculum for pastors, Christian leaders, parents and educators provides a theologically and historically sound approach to the Jewish people and their state.

The curriculum can be used in its entirety or as any combination of the following modules:

Esther: Learn the story of Esther, what it has to say about Jew-hatred from antiquity until now, and its relevance to increased opposition to Israel's existence as a Jewish State.

• Overview of the story

• Israelites and Amalekites: Mordecai won’t bow

• Haman plots to murder

• Arab attacks on Israel since 1948

• Christian anti-Zionism

• Esther’s transformation from passive to active

• Esther and Mordecai’s decree

• Features of the story that refute antisemitic libels

• The holiday of Purim

• Esther in relation to Israel

 

Anti-Jewish Interpretation of Esther: The original Hebrew story of Esther was rewritten two different times in Greek, and both Greek versions contributed significantly to anti-Jewish interpretations of the story.

• The Hebrew Bible translated into Greek: The Septuagint

• The Septuagint version of Esther

• Changes in the Greek that feed anti-Judaism

• When and why was Greek Esther written?

• Who are the Maccabees and what do they have to do with Esther?

• A second Greek version of Esther feeds more anti-Jewish interpretation

 

From Anti-Judaism to Anti-Zionism: Christian anti-Judaism has existed from the time of the early church, played a significant role in Christian support of the Holocaust, and contributes to current anti-Zionism today.

• Anti-Judaism from the early church to the Holocaust

• Anti-Judaism of early church fathers

• Medieval superstitions and blood libels

• Nineteenth century German Protestantism

• Anti-Judaism of Martin Luther

• Luther, Hitler, and the Jews

• The German National Church vs. the Confessing Church

• Lessons from the Holocaust for the church today

 

Christian Heroes During the Holocaust: Learn from, and be challenged by, the faith-building examples of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Corrie ten Boom, both of whom risked their own lives to save the lives of others.

• Dietrich Bonhoeffer

• Corrie ten Boom

 

Current Issues in Relation to Judaism and Zionism: In spite of the realities of the Arab-Israeli conflict, there are those who object to Israel's right to exist and oppose the actions Israel takes to defend itself against those who seek to destroy the Jewish State.

• Realities of the Arab-Israeli conflict

• Christian anti-Judaism

• Proponents of Christian anti-Zionism

• Anti-Israel organizations and media on the war with Hamas

• Specific objections to Israel’s right to exist

 

Biblical Foundation of Covenant: The eternal and unconditional covenant God made with Abraham ensures the future for the people and land of Israel.  

• Fulfillment of the promise and covenant

• Theological issues in relation to covenant

• Errors of replacement theology

• The church is not the new Israel

• The future of the people and land of Israel

 

Zionism in the Christian Testament: Zionism should shape the Christian faith because Matthew, Luke and Paul all had a lot to say about the expectation of the restoration of Israel. 

• Zionism in the Gospel of Matthew

• Zionism in Luke-Acts

• Zionism in Pauline literature

• How Zionism should shape the Christian faith
