The view of Jews in 1600th-century Denmark and Norway
Lectures
In 1622, King Christian IV of Denmark-Norway invited Jews to reside in his realms. At the same time, the Lutheran-Evangelical Church expressed that Jews should in no way be tolerated in a Christian society.
Why did Christian IV invite Jews to settle in the kingdoms in the midst of the heyday of Lutheran orthodoxy? Why were there no Jews in Denmark or Norway before 4? And what was the Lutheran Church's view of Jews?
Janus Møller Jensen, director of the Danish Jewish Museum, takes his lecture as a starting point from his chapter in the book Pride and Prejudice, which was published by Fagbogforlaget in Oslo earlier this year.
