Slandering the Jew: Sexuality and Difference in Early Christian Texts - Divinations: Rereading Late Ancient Religion
Susanna Drake
This book explores the sexual slander of Jews in Christian texts from the first through fifth centuries. These early Christian representations of Jewish sexuality reveal how Church fathers used accusations of fleshliness, bestiality, and licentiousness as strategies to differentiate the "spiritual" Christian from the "carnal" Jew.
