Includes bibliographical references (p. [219]-230) and index.

Confronting the issue of the chosen -- How were "the chosen" chosen?-- The Gentile replacement of the chosen -- Global but apart -- Hatingthe chosen : anti-Semitism -- Shoah : the final solution for the chosen -- Israel : a chosen nation in their chosen land -- Jerusalem : the chosen city -- Epilogue : why is the world obsessed with the Jews?.

The Chosen explores Judaism's key defining concept and inquires why it remains the central unspoken and explosive psychological, historical, and theological problem at the heart of Jewish-Gentile relations. Crisscrossing the twin cultural and theological divides between Judaism, Christendom, and Islam, The Chosen explains how the Jews, of all people,have come to represent at once the epitome of both the good and the odious. Beker covers not only the great stories of how the Jews came to be chosen and the Christian, Muslim, and Nazi efforts to appropriate thetitle, but also the key role "chosenness" plays in contemporary anti-Semitism and in the current Middle East conflict over the Land of Israeland the chosen city of Jerusalem.
