“Events kept eventing, as they are wont to do, and after a time there was a significant Jewish population there.”

American Milk and Honey, p. 32

“We need to engage with antisemites over the sheer fact of the Nazi atrocities against the Jews. That genocide and attempt at complete genocide really did happen. But we also must debate the meaning of the Holocaust with the Jews. It does not mean what many Christ-rejecting Jews are claiming it means. If Christ rose from the dead, it cannot mean that.”

American Milk and Honey, p. 25

“For the Jew who wants the Holocaust to be treated as absolutely unique, and not ever to be compared with other historical events, what the Holocaust means is either that the Jews themselves are absolutely unique, or that Gentiles are uniquely evil, or a combination of the two. Neither of these are options for consistent Christians.”

American Milk and Honey, p. 23

“Over time, movements tend to turn into rackets. There is such a thing as the Holocaust hustle . . . But while some have a vested interest in the Holocaust’s uniqueness, there are others who have a vested interest in the opposite direction. They want to say that the Holocaust didn’t happen at all. Everywhere you go, you run into people.”

“We are actually talking about the blessings of Deuteronomy coming to the Gentile nations that have received the Messiah of the Jews. These Gentile nations will consequently become the head, and not the tail, and Paul knew that this was a strategy that would actually work on his people. Carping envy from Gentiles only reinforces Jewish unbelief. It feeds and nourishes Jewish unbelief. It is a central complicating part of the problem of Jewish unbelief.”

“Now if the dogma of egalitarianism has you by the throat, when confronted with hard statistics like this, you only explanation is that the Jews must be cheating.”
