Our Amazing World: Wonders Hidden Below the Surface Book

Nicholls unequivocally states that Christian teaching is primarily responsible for antisemitism, fully documenting the manner in which this was done.

Here is a selection of Nicholls' arguments …

*** Christian antisemitism was a direct enabler of Hitler's Holocaust … every German "knew" that Jews were the enemy of German civilization because they had been taught over the long Christian centuries that the Jews were the enemy of Christian civilization … Hitler had "known" from childhood that Jews were bad because he had been brought up in a Catholic milieu … Hitler's antisemitic ideas were not created from nothing … without the widespread heritage of anti-Judaism and antisemitism put forward by Christianity, Hitler's extremism would have marked him for the madman he was … with few exceptions, the Christian world did not care about the Nazi onslaught against the Jews.

*** the root of the split between Christianity and Judaism as a struggle for possession of the Jewish Scriptures, centering on the role of the Messiah … if Jesus was the Jewish Messiah, his life, death and subsequent resurrection had to have been predicted in the Scriptures ... if Jesus was predicted, and Jews deny it, then Jews do not know how to read their own Scriptures ... if Jesus was not predicted, Christianity is either an illusion or something altogether novel, unprepared in the Bible, as the heretic Marcion argued in the 2nd century.

*** Jesus could not have been the Messiah the Jews expected and still expect … since he did not fulfill what the Messiah was to do … he did not free his land and people, nor did he inaugurate an age of universal righteousness and peace

*** Christianity has so successfully diverted attention from the historical facts of Jesus' death at the hands of the Romans that countless Christians believe that the Jews killed Christ … the supposed guilt of the Jews has echoed through history, justifying innumerable massacres
