When many Jews see the Cross they do not savor warm feelings of forgiveness and love that characterizes the love of Jesus Christ and God the Father who sent Him to die for sins. Because of the severe atrocities that have been heaped upon the Jewish people over the last 1900 years; they view the Cross often times as a SWORD dipped in 1900 years of Jewish blood. This is a travesty. In this new section we will begin exploring some of many crimes that have been committed against the Jewish people in the name of Christianity. We will look at how the love that God intended to characterize the Church began to fade after the death of John the Revelator. We will look at the crusades, counsel rulings, synagogue burnings, forced conversions, and the writings of Martin Luther against the Jews and their relationship to Adolph Hitler. We will discuss issues such as forced baptism, the badge of shame, and the Spanish Inquisition. There were expulsions and ghettos that Jews were forced to. In fact, there are so many issues to cover and to begin to lay the groundwork for Jewish persecution that we will have to focus on the major ones. Many issues you have never heard about. I would encourage you to investigate these issues in your own study time to discover their truth and gain a grasp as to why many Jews exhibit a great coldness towards Christianity in general.

For almost 20 years I have served as a author and teacher of advanced biblical studies. My interests are the New Covenant, apologetics and classical revival. Native of the Kansas City, Mo area and reside now in Independence, MO with wife Anna.He is the author of many books including the newest Televangelicalism. In this insightful and thought provoking book, Robert Wurtz II traces the history of Christian evangelism from the book of Acts to modern times. The contrast between pre-1900 and post-1900 evangelism is so sharp, that the book is divided into two sections: Part 1, the pre-Billy Sunday era and Part 2, the post-Billy Sunday evangelistic era. This book is a must-read for anyone that has concerns about issues such as "the sinner's prayer" or shallow concepts of conversion.
