"Maimonides ...was most tolerant man of his time.." Maybe he was perceived that way among the Talmudic Jews, but not among Christians! While I agree with you that we all have a tendency to read the prejudices and mindset of the present into the past, Maimonides' racist and hateful teachings against Christian and non-Jews easily qualifies as hate both in the present and the past. The Christian Church has NO secret teachings against any race and its message is a universal message of faith, hope and love for all men. All foundational and dogmatic documents of the Christian Church are found in the historical writings in the New Testament. There are no semi-secret writings oral instructions reserved only for the inner circle. The Gospels can easily be understood by the simple and the wise. Christ crucified for the sins of mankind is the beginning and the end of the Christian doctrine. Through Christ men are reconciled to God the Father as sons. Martin Luther's "antisemitism" was theological opposition, not racial as with Maimonides. Luther's strident condemnation of Talmudic Judaism was a response to the antichrist teachings of the Talmud and not the dogmatic teachings of the Church.
