KlappentextThe works of Marcin Czechowic (1536-1613), a leader of a Polish Radical Protestant sect known as the Arians, are often referred to as proof for the Jews´ close contacts with Radical Christians and the tolerant character of interreligious debates in early-modern Poland. In Politics of Polemics, Magdalena Luszczynska explores Arian-Jewish relations focusing on Czechowic´s two polemics that utilise contrasting images of the Jew. The first features an invented interlocutor, a spiritually blind, tradition-bound hermeneutical Jew,´ while the second engages in depth with Jewish texts, beliefs, and practices drawing on the Christian Hebraist perception of the Jews as potential teachers of sacred philology.´ The works are analysed in the context of Radical Protestant theology, the tradition of Christian-Jewish polemics, and Arian leadership contest. Politics of Polemics, providing an English-speaking reader with an unprecedented access to this unique polemical material, is a valuable source for the historians of the Radical Reformation and of Christian-Jewish relations in early-modern Poland.
