PUBL. DATA: | [Remarks on the Passion, BWV 245. The issue of anti-Semitism in the text is addressed. Theologically, the portrayal of Perfidia judaica is not an accusation against the Jews as a community but rather represents the perfidy of all humanity in sending Christ to death; nevertheless there are undeniable elements of true anti-Semitism in Luther's later utterances and in the text of the Passion as Bach compiled it.] |
