Judaism was still consid- ered a real threat to the daughter faith. This threat was increased seven-fold when the emperor Ju- lian (known in church sources as "the apostate") sought, in the Fourth Century to declare Chris- tianity an illicit faith and to assist the Jews in the reconstruction of the Temple of Jerusalem. While Julian's heroic gesture failed, the Christian world, or at least the theological arbiters of Christianity understood, that the spectre of a re-built Jerusalem would sap Christianity of its theological truth. After all, had not the Temple of old been de- stroyed because of the Jewish re- jection of Jesus. How could one reconcile the rebuilding of the Temple and the "new dispensa- tion brought by Jesus? These issues and questions were very much in the air in Anti- , och in the fourth century when John Chrysostom began his meteoric climb to the preaching heights. The ferocity of his advo- cacy of Christian "truths" versus Jewish ones must be understood, says Wilken, in the light of the contemporary controversies. Chrysostom came from an environment which honored the traditions of classical rhetoric. The rhetor or public speaker was one of the most admired men in antiquity. Christian preachers borrowed heavily from the rhetor- ical lessons of ancient Greece and Rome and absorbed them into their apologetic discourses. In the hands of John Chrysos- tom rhetorical devices were re- fined to a degree probably un- equalled in early Christianity. While Jews were the principal targets of many of Chrysostom's verbal assaults they were not the only people in antiquity who were subjected to such abuse. Pagans and heretics received their fair share of Christian vituperation as well. The problem with Chrysostom, however, is that he perfected the rhetorical technique known as psogos, that is, the art of invective and he used it expertly in his at- tack on the Jewish people and on Judaism. In the psogos, exaggera- tion, mendacity and coarseness were taken for granted. Says Wilken: "Every act of his- torical understanding is an act of empathy. When I began to study John Chrysostom's writings on the Jews, I was inclined to judge what he said in the light of the unhappy history of Jewish- Christian relations and the sad events in Jewish history in mod- ern times. "As much as I feel a deep sense of moral responsibility for the attitudes and actions of Chris- tians towards the Jews, I am no longer ready to project these later attitudes onto the events of the fourth Century. No matter how enraged Christians feel over the s=3 Christian record of dealings with the Jews, we have no license to judge the distant past on the basis of our present perceptions of events of more recent times." Robert L. Wilken has taught us 3 an important historical lesson in this book, one of the finest of its genre. :=b Restaurant 9 7 DAYS FROM 4 P.M. AT APPLEGATE SQUARE Northwestern Hwy. at Inkster Rd.
