A prophet in the Jewish tradition, Jesus had little truck with Gentiles ("I was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Matthew 15:24) On at least one occasion he referred to gentiles as dogs. He saw his mission as helping to bring about the fulfillment of Jewish aspirations-and that mission ended in a grotesque fiasco. He differed from the mainstream of Jewish thinking only in that he believed in loving one's enemies. A radical difference, to be sure, but he would have been appalled by the suggestion of a Gentile religion being founded in his name. He never intended to sponsor a church, let alone an inquisition.
