Review Quotes: There really is nothing new about anti-Semitism in the age of today's white ethno-nationalism. Freud and Montheism brings the debate about Sigmund Freud's last work on the origins of antisemitism up to the present day. Gilad Sharvit and Karen Feldman have compiled a brilliant selection of essays examining the historical and philosophical underpinnings of Moses and Monotheism by the leading specialists on this complex and eternally engaging text. They illustrate quite well the complexity of understanding anti-Semitism from the standpoint of the victim of the Nazis in the 1940s or of the alt-right today. A must add to any library on the history of anti-Semitism.---Sander Gilman, Emory University
