Apparently it never occurred to Carol Christ that the authors of the New Testament were ethnic and racial Jews themselves, and so their usage of the term "the Jews" could hardly be the racial usage of the Nazis some 2,000 years later; in fact, the particular verse refers to the Jewish religious and political leadership, as opposed to their Roman overlords. The idea of "the Jews" being "the other" wouldn't even be possible until many years later when ethnic Jews moved into northern and western European lands. Even a meager knowledge of Christian theology would inform Dr Christ that Jesus' death is necessary to Christian ideas of salvation, and so "blaming the Jews" is nonsense; Jesus halted Peter's attempt to interfere with the crucifixion, and Paul writes that we would have no hope if there had been no crucifixion. Moreover, crucifixion was a Roman method of execution, stoning being the Jewish, and the crucifixion was in fact carried out by the Roman authorities. Maybe Dr Christ should study Christian theology before giving us the benefit of her learning.
