The article discusses John Henry Newman's Anglican views on Judaism. It shows that while some have seen him as anti-Semitic, Newman actually used Jewish terms in a symbolic way to talk about issues in his time. He highlighted the positive aspects of Judaism, connected it to Christianity, and praised its religious teachings as inspired by God. Newman's goal was to defend the Church of England and show the value of Jewish traditions for Christians.
