Marilyn Salmon's persuasive and practical work helps preachers to identify the ways that Christian preachers perpetuate the long tradition of Christian anti-Judaism. She situates the Gospels precisely as Jewish literature then addresses specific thorny issues that arise in preaching: supersessionism; portrayals of the Law; the Pharisees; the relationship between the Testaments; preaching the Passion; and misrepresentations of Judaism. Using examples from many sermons, she shows how to avoid the pitfalls of misportraying the people of Jesus.
Marilyn J Salmon is Associate Professor of New Testament at United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities. An Episcopal priest, she has focused her work on Jewish-Christian relations and the Gospels.
"... gives preachers remarkably helpful advice... Her book is centrally important in helping the church bear witness to a message of life and wellbeing for all instead of one that is good news for some at the expense of bad news for others. Highly recommended!" -- Clark Williamson, Emeritus, Christian Theological Seminary
