This study begins two hundred years earlier, however, looking at roots of theological anti-Semitism and how Jews and Judaism were constructed, positively and negatively, in the biblical interpretation of German Protestant theology. Following the two main streams of German theology, the salvation-historical and the Enlightenment-oriented traditions, it examines leading exegetes from the 1750s to the 1950s and explores how theology legitimises or delegitimises oppression of Jews, in part through still-prevailing paradigms. This is the first comprehensive analysis of its kind, and the result of the analysis of the interplay between biblical exegesis and attitudes to Jews and Judaism is a fascinating and often frightening portrait of theology as a servant of power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS Introduction: Roots of Theological Anti-Semitism  PART I: ENLIGHTENMENT EXEGESIS AND THE JEWS Introduction  The Jews in Enlightenment Exegesis From Deism to de Wette  Johann Salomo Semler: Dejudaising Christianity  Johann Gottfried Herder: The Volk Concept and the Jews  F.
