摘要
This article argues that traditional Christology is intimately bound up with a triumphalist agenda that denies Jesus Jewishness and is structurally antisemitic. Taking an antiracist stance, the article argues that systemic rethinking of Christianitys theological resources is needed, which must be anti-antisemitic and antiracist. This involves reconfiguring how we take on board Jesus Jewishness in a post-Holocaust context and recognizing Jesus as a Jewish prophet. From this, it is tentatively suggested that rethinking the role of the Messiah involves understanding a Levinasian Messiah who does not come, but rather calls upon us to act in a Messianic role before the Other as an ethical imperative.
