Dr. Runes Indicts Church for Deicide Charge; His 'The Jew and the Cross' Commended by Christian Theologian "The Jew and the Cross" by Dagobert D. Runes, published by Philosophical Library, appears at an appropriate time, as the Ecu- menical Council sessions have be- gun in Rome. Dr. Runes' new work is an analy- sis of the Catholic attitude toward the Jews throughout the centuries, pointing to the bitternesses, to the prejudices that have evolved due to the deicide charge. "The bias against the Jew is, like all bias and prejudice, born not in the mind but in the heart," Dr. Runes asserts. "And tragi- cally enough the hatred of the Jew is born in the alleged devo- tional service for Jesus, Son of Israel, who gave His life to re- deem the world out of hate and envy into the glory of charity . . . It is for the people of Israel He prayed, suffered and died. In His own words, 'I did not come to destroy the Torah, but to fulfill it.' " Dr. Runes charges that "anti- Semitism was born with Christian- ity; to be sure, not with Jesus, a Jew himself, whose followers took conviction in his descendency from the House of David, but rather with those who, on the basis of the ser- mons flowing from the lips of the gentle Nazarene, created an or- ganized church with priests, bishops and vestrymen." He charges that the "rapidly spreading religious body . • . formu- lated a New Testament . .. which dramatized in a most touching man- ner the life and self-willed death of Jeshu ben Joseph, in which drama, however, the Jew was as- signed, with a cold and merciless At Mid-America's fabulous resort ... a playtime pa rad ise where you'll enjoy: • Terrific food • Beautiful heated pool and patio • All sports • Gala floor shows • New Low Rates! • FREE GOLF "WHERE VACATION DREAMS COME TRUEr' SOUTH HAVEN, MICHIGAN Phone 637-5118 (Ara 616) gesture, the image of the devil himself." Then he makes this addition ac- cusation: "The writers of the Catholic Church were given directions to separate the people of Israel, Christ's very own people, from the other so-called non-believers. They changed the self-willed death of the redeemed into a case of a judicial murder on the part of a Jewish 'people's court.' They wrote in one scene of their sacred play that the Lord wanted to die, thus taking the original sin of mankind upon Himself. In another scene they made the Lord a pitiful victim of vicious Jewish zealots, making not only the Jews of Jerusalem respon- sible for this alleged assassina- tion by a Judeo-Roman court, but also the millions of Jews of that time who lived in Alexan- dria, in Babylon and elsewhere, and who had neither part nor knowledge of the events in the Holy Land. The scribes of the church further made responsible the Jews of all future genera- tions. At this very writing there are Catholic cardinals, bishops and priests meeting in Rome, some of whom still insist that the Jews of today must share the responsibility for the death of Christ." • • He indicates f u r t h e r the ludi- crousness of a Greek Catholic lead- er who "desired to make a com- plete chain of condernnation around the Jewish people, embracing to- morrow as well as yesterday." Commending Dr. Runes' "The Jew and the Cross," Prof. Vergi- lius Ferm, editor of Encyclopedia of Religion, former president of the American Theological Society, calls it "a block-buster" and states: "There is no indictment here against the great Jewish Prophet . . . but against the theological per- version made by the Catholic Church. It is time for a redress of this grievous sin—a major sin of Christians. There is no room here for dialogue. There is room here only for redress." Torah Crowns Recovered JERUSALEM — It has been reported that the two missing silver Torah crowns that disap- peared from the synagogue at David's Tomb on Mount Zion had hen recovered from an antique dealer.
