In the penultimate episode of our Christian Anti-Judaism series, we turn to discuss Christian theology in the wake of the Holocaust and the Shoah with Rev. Dr. Mark Lindsay, who is Joan F. W. Munro Professor of Historical Theology at Trinity College, Melbourne, and an Anglican Priest in the diocese of Melbourne. In our conversation, Rev. Dr. Lindsay begins with the determination at the Second Vatican Council in 1965 that neither biblical nor post-biblical Jews ought not to be collectively charged with deicide. He uses that moment to look back over two millennia of church history to see the anti-Jewish and anti-Semitic rhetoric and theology, including various forms of supersessionism, that developed with precisely the opposite view. As for a way forward for Christian theology, Rev. Dr. Lindsay highlights the need for constructive work to be conducted in the light of the “open wound” of the Holocaust, pointing to such work as Karl Barth’s Christology and theology of election as some important examples. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities includes: Dr. Josh Carroll, Dr. John Anthony Dunne, Rev. Daniel Parham, and Dr. Chris Porter. Get bonus content on Patreon
