The Jews and the Church

Church History

Canaan, Israel, Judah, the holy land, the Promised Land, and Zion are all used throughout history to talk about a very tiny piece of land. The story of the Hebrew people started thousands of years ago when Jewish people, like Abraham and Moses, played important roles in history. Through them, God gave the world the Ten Commandments, the Old Testament, and the way to a relationship with the one and only true God. Sadly, Jewish people also faced tough times. In the 12th and 17th centuries, rumors and lies about them. During the time of the Crusades and the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215, some leaders in the church made laws that were unfair to Jewish people. They were made to wear special clothing to stand out, and this wasn't good. In Spain during the late 1400s and early 1500s, Jewish people were treated poorly. They had to leave the country or pretend to follow a different religion. Many Jewish people had to hide who they were to stay safe. In today’s episode, we will tell the story of the church and the Jewish people.
