# Luther publishes That Jesus Christ Was Born a Jew

Date: 1523

## The fact

In 1523 Dass Jesus Christus ein geborener Jude sei urged Christians not to treat Jews as badly as they had, in hope of conversion. It is a completed early pamphlet, later reversed.

## Context

Must not be averaged with 1543. Two books, opposite welfare signs, same author.

## Evidence and sources

1523 text. Establishes the milder early line. Wikipedia is not used as a causal source.

## Significance

Improving minority path only relative to late-medieval violence, and only as conversion strategy.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 1523 pamphlet. Not established: civic equality. Confidence high on the text, medium on any real protection delivered.
