This project explores the effectiveness of using Jewish narratives and short stories in Christian education to combat anti-semitism in the church. The purpose of using these narratives was to tear down stereotypes of the Jewish people by allowing Christians to enter and explore the life experiences of Jews. A standard library research method established the theoretical support for this approach. The study included a group experiment which involved seven Christians from varied social backgrounds. Group testing was conducted at the beginning and end of the experiment using the A-S Scale found in The Authoritarian Personality by Adorno et al (1950). The group read five works of Jewish literature. Each member kept a reading log of personal responses to the literature and participated in group discussions. The results showed little change for the group as a whole. Individually, there were changes of both increased anti-Semitism and decreased anti-Semitism. The reading logs revealed that the participants struggled over their thoughts about the Jews. Frankly, one cannot truly assess the results adequately because the time was inadequate.
