Chrześcijańska postawa etyczna względem antysemityzmu

The article is focused on the topic of the relationships between Christians and Jews as seen by Christian ethics, especially those deriving from the Commandment: "Thou shalt not kill". The latter is understood as not only refraining from killing but also in the sense of duty to care for others and respect them. The presentation begins with a depiction of the strong antagonism between Jews and Christians, between Synagogue and Church, which has run for centuries. The ethical point of view is based on the strong ethical message of Albert Schweitzer about respecting every form of life. After that, the importance of the Great Commandment is stressed. Jesus Christ’s logia from the Gospel of Matthew, and Saint Paul’s teachings about God’s attitude towards man are explained. The author shows this objective anti-Semitism as antithetic to the above described Christian attitude. The article is completed with some views of future mutual relations which are based on hope for reconciliation - as described in a couple of declarations proclaimed by both Jews and Christians. The article includes the most significant thesis of the following declarations: Nostra aetate from 1965, Emet ve-Emunah from 1988 and Dabru emet from 2000.
