Words Matter: Reorienting Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Studies with Attention to Antisemitism
2025
Overview
The orientation of Mennonite religious thinking and imagination has been shaped in substantive ways by biblical material. In contrast to both the Roman Catholic Church and many major Protestant denominations, this material, as well as recommended practices for preaching and teaching with attention to the problem of antisemitism, have received little attention in Mennonite ecclesiastical and academic circles. There is evidence of some tendency to view many of the New Testament (NT) materials as Jewish compositions. This argument is then followed by the rationalization that the development of Christian antisemitism is a post-NT problem. Such an argument fails to provide a satisfactory basis for an examination of the manner in which the NT materials themselves contribute to the development and growth of antisemitism among religious communities such as the Mennonites who ascribe rather exclusive authoritative status to the NT materials. An analysis rooted in the social sciences provides a context in which it can be demonstrated that Christian antisemitism has its roots in the NT materials themselves.
