8. Although some Jews expressed disappointment at the "Guidelines," this second document went far beyond Nostra Aetate. It said Christians must strive to learn how Jews define themselves in the light of their own religious experience. All forms of antisemitism are condemned, not merely deplored and it warned against interpreting the Old Testament and Judaism as a religion of fear. It stated that Judaism did not end with the destruction of Jerusalem, but it has continued to develop a rich, religious tradition. Geoffrey Wigoder, Jewish-Christian Relations, 83.
