Anti-Semitism is growing in the fertile soil of Christian reconstructionism. One need only examine Andrew Torba and Andrew Isker’s 2022 book defending Christian nationalism from a Christian reconstructionist perspective. They argue for the removal of “Judeo” from the phrase “Judeo-Christian” on the basis of spiritual and theological opposition to Judaism. Repeating the older charge that Talmudic Judaism is not genuine Judaism, they argue that Christianity has no relationship to modern Judaism. And many of these new nationalists have no love for Israel.
