The third volume covers terms, theories and ideologies of anti-Semitism from A as in ?""Abwehr"" (resistance) to Z as in ""Zwangstaufe"" (forced baptism). In 150 articles 88 authors explain terms and metaphors such as ""Aryan Acts"", ""race defilers"" and ""usurer-Jew""as well as stereotypes like ""well poisoning"", ""host desecration"" and ""deicide"". The volume also explores phenomena such as redemptive anti-Semitism, Holocaust denial, and hostility towards Jews in antiquity. Furthermore, the handbook extensively discusses theories, research strategies and political contexts of hostility towards Jews, e.g. leftist anti-Semitism, Christian fundamentalism or Islamic anti-Semitism.
