Hermle's analysis bears the stamp of his own interfaith encounters. This is by no means a liability, even if it once or twice tempts him to equate theological critique with historical explanation. Hermle tends to posit as self-evident a specific normative conception of Jewish-Christian relations, and while most readers are likely to find his assumptions congenial one wishes he had done more to show how and why such conceptions developed during the period under consideration. He might also have provided more analysis of the motives and attitudes of key figures in the Protestant establishment; here recent work on denazification, by Clemens Vollnhals and others, may suggest useful points of departure. But these are minor quibbles. Hermle has added a crucial chapter to a most important story and in so doing has helped to explain, however obliquely, why much of that story should have waited for more than a generation to be told.
