Daniel Langton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniel Langton is a lecturer in Religions & Theology at the University of Manchester, UK. His major academic interests include the history of Jewish-Christian relations in general, modern Jewish thought, Holocaust theology, and Anglo-Jewish history. He is the author of an intellectual history of Claude Montefiore (1858-1938), who was a co-founder of Anglo-Liberal Judaism and President of the Anglo-Jewish Association. Langton's claims regarding the profound influence of Christian thought upon Montefiore's theology have provoked public criticism from representatives of the Liberal Jewish Synagogue. Langton's articles cover topics such as the origins of English Reform Judaism and Jewish attitudes towards Paul of Tarsus, a key founding figure of Christianity.
