- Abstract
This study deals with the epistle called Al Tehi Ka-Avotekha, which has contributed in terms of content and method to the polemicists both in his period and after it in the medieval Judeo-Christian polemic tradition. This treatise is originally a letter written by Profiat Duran (d. 1415) to his friend David Bonet Bonjorn, who, like Duran, was forced to be baptized but insisted on staying in his new religion. The method used in the work is the first of the motives that make the letter original (in the Jewish-Christian polemic tradition) and enables it to reach today. Duran preferred to use scientific (physical) and philosophical (logical and metaphysical) arguments in the comparison he made between Jewish beliefs and Christian beliefs (Trinity, original sin-liberation from original sin, incarnation, transubstantiation) that he found irrational. The second important feature of the letter is that, unlike other refutations, the critical attitude in the work is presented to the reader in an ironic style that includes hidden sarcasm and allusions. This text, which Duran prepared based on his personal experiences, has survived to the present day and provided the opportunity to evaluate Judeo-Christian relations from both a religious and social perspective.
