Vorurteile gegen Juden im christlichen Religionsunterricht - Eine qualitative Inhaltsanalyse ausgewählter Lehrpläne und Schulbücher in Deutschland und Österreich

Since the Shoah, much has been done in Christian theology to combat anti-Semitism. Nevertheless, many curricula and school textbooks for Christian religious education use prejudices against Judaism to put Christianity in a more positive light. The author analyses in this study the changes in the way Judaism is presented in currently approved syllabi and textbooks. Moreover, she provides a toolkit for analysing future teaching materials in terms of the way the relationship between Jesus and the Pharisees is portrayed. For developing this toolkit she takes both more recent findings within the discipline as well as the experiences and approaches of pupils into consideration and integrates both elements.
