Of One Tree: Calvin on Jews and Christians in the Context of the Late Middle Ages

Wulfert de Greef

This is the first work to examine Calvin’s understanding of the relationship between Jews and Christians at such a fundamental level. After an overview of the status of Jews in Europe during the late Middle Ages and the interest at that time in the knowledge of Hebrew and Judaism, the author turns specifically to Calvin and his interpretation of the Bible. Several important questions are addressed: How did Calvin understand the relationship between Jews and Christians? Have Christians taken the place of the Jews, or do they belong to the Jews because they are included in the relationship between God and Israel? What does Calvin have to say about the future of the Jews? The author concludes that Calvin’s view of the relationship between Jews and Christians is closely tied to his view of the unity of the Old and New Testaments.
