A servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren." So reads Noah's curse on his son Ham, and all his descendants, in Genesis 9: 25.

In this thought provoking book, Stephen Haynes takes a hard look at contemporary Christian theology as he explores the pervasive Christian "witness-people" myth that dominates much Christian thinking about the Jews in both Christian and Jewish minds. This myth, an ancient theological construct that has put Jews in the role of living symbols of God's dealings with the world, has for centuries, according to Haynes, created ambivalence toward the...

Was he a religious visionary who foresaw the shape of Christian commitment in a post-Christian world? Was he a model Christian, or a theologian who betrayed his pacificism by becoming complicit in assassination? Stephen Haynes has probed both the...
