About

The Persecuted Project is the initiative of a small, committed team who believe that antisemitism within Christianity, while deeply rooted, remains a subject of which many are unaware. Many would be deeply troubled to discover that they may unknowingly hold beliefs that perpetuate such ideologies. For this reason, the issue must be actively confronted and challenged. Grounded in extensive knowledge and years of experience, the team brings together scholarship, moral urgency, and practical commitment to address this persistent injustice. The project seeks not only to examine the historical roots of Christian antisemitism, but also to equip individuals, churches, and institutions with the understanding and tools needed to challenge prejudice, foster accountability, and promote lasting change. Presented with clarity and integrity, the work is designed to inspire informed engagement and meaningful action across a broad audience.

A COMPLEX BUT IMPORTANT SUBJECT

Some stories are difficult to tell, and harder still to hear. The history of Christian antisemitism is one of them. It is a history marked by division, suspicion, prejudice, and, at times, horrendous violence. Yet it is a story we dare not ignore. To do so, would be to leave old wounds unhealed and to miss the deep spiritual lessons history can teach us.

 

Our initial focus is the production of a comprehensive trilogy of books that explores and charts the historical background, teachings, and key events that have shaped antisemitic prejudice. The first volume lays the foundation by examining the emergence of Christianity through the life and message of Jesus, followed by the formative developments of the early Church. It traces how early patterns of belief and practice influenced relationships between Christians and mainstream Jewish communities, setting the trajectory for centuries to follow. Subsequent volumes will carry the narrative forward through the Constantinian era, the Middle Ages, the Reformation, the rise of modern Europe, and into the contemporary world.

 

Along the way, we will see that the relationship between Christian believers and Jewish communities was often marked by tension and mistrust. Early disagreements of faith, magnified by world politics and fear, hardened into stereotypes and accusations. These shaped the course of history in lasting ways. They are difficult truths, but they must be faced if we are to seek a future built on greater understanding.

 

This series has grown out of a conviction that history, when approached honestly, can be more than a record of past events. It can be a mirror, showing us where we have come from. It can also be a lamp, shining on the path ahead. Please understand, it is not our intention to condemn Christianity, we are deeply committed to it. Our hope is that these books will not only inform but also invite you, the reader, into reflection and conversation.

 

Although this series is the result of careful study and research, it has been designed to reach a wide audience. From the layout of the pages to the choice of language, every element has been shaped to ensure that the design itself does not create unnecessary barriers to understanding. Particular care has been taken to make the text easier to approach for those who experience visual stress or live with dyslexia.

 

At the same time, the content has been written with both thoroughness and accessibility in view. These volumes are not only for scholars or students already familiar with the subject; they are equally intended for curious readers who may never have encountered it before. The guiding principle has been to balance depth with clarity, to provide enough substance to satisfy the serious inquirer, while never losing sight of the need for plain expression and clear explanation.

 

Our hope is that anyone who opens these books will feel able to follow the story, think about its significance, and, become part of the ongoing conversation it invites. As you read, we hope you will not only gain knowledge but also take time to reflect and ask: What does this history mean for us today? Do remnants of past prejudices still shape our worldview? And how might we move forward, together, toward healing, repentance, and reconciliation?

 

To support this process, we have included at the end of each section a set of reflection questions and note pages, designed for use in both individual study and small group discussions.

 

Our invitation is simple, join us on this journey. You may not always agree with every argument or conclusion that we present, but we ask only that you read with honesty and openness, considering the ways negative and damaging mindsets have shaped our faith. We long for a future where differences are not a cause for suspicion, but a source of mutual respect and blessing.
