A Christian social media influencer with a large platform recently texted me after reading my 2021 book “Christian Antisemitism: Confronting the Lies in Today’s Church.” He was burdened and grieved by the contents of the book, saying to me, “This needs to be updated!” I responded, “That’s the problem. The book was an update to my previous book on ‘Christian’ antisemitism, “Our Hands Are Stained with Blood: The Tragic Story of the Church and the Jewish People.”
Now he was telling me that the update needed to be updated. That’s how rapidly this insidious spiritual disease is spreading again in the church.
While I can’t demonstrate this statistically, I have been documenting it anecdotally, and it seems that the lid has been taken off, and hidden views are now being shared openly.

For example, after a recent debate on the ongoing election of Israel, I spotted this comment on X, speaking of the Jewish people: “The porn, trans and usury people? Imma go with Martin Luther.” The post also contained a screenshot of a vile, antisemitic Luther quote.
Yes, this is the same Luther who, in 1543, called for Jewish synagogues to be set on fire and places of business to be broken down and destroyed, for rabbis to be forbidden to teach on the penalty of death, for Jews to be rounded up in ghettos and deprived of jobs—and more.
Yet this individual wrote, “Imma go with Martin Luther”?
You might say, “He’s obviously just another loony antisemite.”
Perhaps so, but according to his profile, he is a “1689 Baptist,” meaning that he holds to the London Confession of 1689 and takes pride in his Baptist “orthodoxy.” He also states that he is a “Church history buff” and “Abortion abolitionist,” among other things.
So, he is an antisemite, for sure. But he is also a professing committed, evangelical, pro-life Christian. You can be assured he is not alone.
