What is Living Together, Living Apart: Rethinking Jewish-Christian Relations in the Middle Ages (Jews, Christians, and Muslims from the Ancient to the Modern World, 53) about?

This Book Challenges The Standard Conception Of The Middle Ages As A Time Of Persecution For Jews. Jonathan Elukin Traces The Experience Of Jews In Europe From Late Antiquity Through The Renaissance And Reformation, Revealing How The Pluralism Of Medieval Society Allowed Jews To Feel Part Of Their Local Communities Despite Recurrent Expressions Of Hatred Against Them. Elukin Shows That Jews And Christians Coexisted More Or Less Peacefully For Much Of The Middle Ages, And That Violence Directed At Jews Was Largely Isolated And Did Not Undermine Their Participation In The Daily Rhythms Of European Society. The Picture That Emerges Is One Of Jews Living Comfortably Among Their Christian Neighbors, Working With Christians, And Occasionally Cultivating Lasting Friendships Even As Christian Culture Often Demonized Jews. As Elukin Makes Clear, The Expulsions Of Jews From England, France, Spain, And Elsewhere Were Not The Inevitable Culmination Of Persecution, But Arose From The Religious And Political Expediences Of Particular Rulers. He Demonstrates That The History Of Successful Jewish-christian Interaction In The Middle Ages In Fact Laid The Social Foundations That Gave Rise To The Jew
