The Theory of Fundamentalist anti-Semitism matured in the 1970's. It was shockingly expressed by Rabbi Alexander M. Schindler, President of the American Union of Hebrew Congregations, in a letter to other reform Jewish leaders quoted in a June 1976 issue of Time magazine: "historically, anti-Semitism had its roots in fundamentalist religion."[1] This theory received further support from the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (then named National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council (NJCRAC)). In their "Joint Program Plan 1975-1976" it is implied that a literal interpretation of the Bible engenders "negative images of Jews and Judaism"[2]. According to the Church studies and Judaic scholar David A. Rausch, Liberal Protestant clergy associations have encouraged this view."[2] Such liberal Christian organizations "issue declarations against Evangelicals as if Judaism's existence depnded on silencing all evangelism."
