"Jesus Christ was Born a Jew" was written first--decades earlier, in fact. When Luther wrote "The Jews and Their Lies," he was old, tired, and of failing health. He was frustrated at the Jewish community's cold shoulder to the Gospel that he was preaching, and had been exposed to some passages in the Talmud that are not all that complimentary about Yeshua. He had also become very anti-Sabbatarian because he had seen the damage that the Anabaptists had done in Muenster, and fell back on his native German anti-Semitism in arguing against it.

The flaws of great men of history reverberate just as much as their successes, and I think that is true of Luther. I accept that he was a true Christian, and like all men deeply flawed. His flaws of pride and temper caught up with him later in life, just as King David's weakness towards the fairer sex caught up with the man after Hashem's own heart. Luther was also simply a reflection of just how much anti-Semitism had infected the Christian community over the millennia since Nicea.

You can no more disown the sins of Christianity's past with the "no true Scottsman" fallacy than the Jews can disown the sins of our own.

Shalom.
