Sad news

I have learned, sadly, that Anders Gerdmar, author of the masterpiece Roots of Theological Anti-Semitism: German Biblical Interpretation and the Jews, from Herder and Semler to Kittel and Bultmann passed away in the summer of 2023 after battling cancer for several years. An obituary is here.

The last we were in contact, he had just begun work on a new book. He managed to complete it before passing away: Salvation is from the Jews: The Image of Jews and Judaism in Biblical Interpretation, from Anti-Jewish Exegesis to Eliminationist Antisemitism. I’m sure it will stand up just as well as Roots of Theological Anti-Semitism has done.
