This book scrutinizes the presentations of Christians and Christianity in Israeli state education system. It reveals that despite the changes in Jewish-Christian relations in the last century and the power relations between Jews and Christians in Israel, Christianity has a crucial role in the construction of modern Jewish identity in Israel.

Is the historical rivalry between Jews and Christians forgotten in modern Israel? Do Jewish-Israeli young people partake in the historic memory of the polemics between the two religions? This book scrutinizes the presentations of Christians and Christianity in Israeli school curricula, textbooks, and teaching in the state education system, in an attempt to elucidate the role of relations to Christianity in the construction of modern Jewish-Israeli identity, and it reveals that despite the changes in Jewish-Christian relations, they are still a significant factor in the construction of modern Jewish-Israeli identity.
