By situating their subjects within a broad continuum of historical and critical issues, the authors inquire into such questions as the shifting politics of toleration and intoleration; the role played by anti-Judaic legends in the formation of Christian cults; the role of positive evaluations of Hebrew, Jewish learning and Christian hopes for Jewish conversion; and the transformation of religious anti-Judaism into its modern racial and nationalistic counterparts. The book will be of special interest to art historians, cultural historians, students of Christian theology and Jewish history, and to educated general readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS Introduction  PART I: STAGES OF CONVERSION Chapter One ‘Fair and Friendly, Sweet and Beautiful’: Hopes for Jewish Conversion in Synagoga’s Song of Songs Imagery  Elizabeth Monroe Chapter Two Disputation in Stone: Jews Imagined on the Saint Stephen Portal of Paris Cathedral  Kara Ann Morrow Chapter Three Taking Little Jesus to School in Two Thirteenth-Century Latin Psalters from South Germany  Eva Frojmovic Chapter Four The Performative Terms of Jewish Iconoclasm and Conversion in Two Saint Nicholas Windows at Chartres Cathedral  Anne F.
