The intellectual landscape was being transformed by new access to classical works through non-Christian sources. The Christian church was consequently trying to strengthen its control over the priesthood and laity and within the church a dramatic spiritual renewal was taking place. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eChristians and Jews in the Twelfth-Century Renaissance\u003c\/em\u003e reveals the consequences for the only remaining non-Christian minority in the heartland of Europe: the Jews. Anna Abulafia probes the anti-Jewish polemics of scholars who used the new ideas to redefine the position of the Jews within Christian society. They argued that the Jews had a different capacity for reason since they had not reached the 'right' conclusion - Christianity. They formulated a universal construct of humanity which coincided with universal Christendom, from which the Jews were excluded. Dr Abulafia shows how the Jews' exclusion from this view of society contributed to their growing marginalization from the twelfth century onwards. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eChristians and Jews in the Twelfth-Century Renaissance\u003c\/em\u003e is important reading for all students and teachers of medieval history and theology, and for all those with an interest in Jewish history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Brechta Sapir Abulafia,Anna Abulafia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415000122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415000123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/27\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Anna Brechta Sapir Abulafia","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136036548863,"sku":"9780415000123","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9264fbae-2306-440e-82df-19d757d0b416.jpg?v=1770160087","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/christians-and-jews-in-the-anna-brechta-sapir-abulafia-9780415000123","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
