In this rich, wide-ranging, and meticulously researched account, Kenneth Austin examines the attitudes of various Christian groups in the Protestant and Catholic Reformations towards Jews, the Hebrew language, and Jewish learning.

This text has much to tell us about the Reformation and its priorities - and has important implications for how we think about religious pluralism more broadly.
