[During the period of the Reformation, it was standard practice at every level of society to blame the Jews for the legion of troubles of the era. At a time when the economic condition of the Jews in Western Europe was in reality miserable, almost everyone—from German peasants to Protestants, from reformers to traditional Roman Catholic theologians—considered the Jews deicides, enemies of the Church, a plague on society, and out to steal Christian wealth and lives. Jews were scapegoated for the harsh fiscal policies of Church and state.1 As during the High Middle Ages, the apocalyptic belief in the imminent appearance of the Antichrist— who was allegedly to be born of the Jewish people, circumcized in Jerusalem, and whose first followers and intimates were Jews—led to further antagonism.2 Before church and society could be fundamentally reformed, they had to be totally cleansed of their Jewish spirit. Just as in the patristic period and the thirteenth century, there was an attack on the Talmud on the grounds that it contained blasphemous and seditious materal. Could an assault on Jews be far behind? As Heiko Oberman pointed out, “opposition to Judaism in effect became opposition to Jews.”3 The sixteenth century might have provided a climate for more religious freedom than before, but it was meant to be Christian freedom; there was still no place for the Jews.]
