| Summary: | R. Shaul Serero (1566-1655) served as the chief rabbi of Fes during the first halfof the seventeenth century. Serero repeatedly devoted his annual sermons on the Sabbathpreceding Passover to clarifying various aspects of the concept of redemption, one of themain subjects of the Jewish-Christian polemic. A review of these sermons reveals that Sererofound it necessary to examine and refute the Christian dogma on three separate occasions onthe Sabbath before Passover, in 1603, 1607, and 1611. Serero adopted and applied arguments from the traditional Sephardic polemics literature but adapted, edited, and expanded these arguments to shape the most appropriate argument. |
