Jewish Reception
Some members of the Jewish community have regarded Sizer's works as examples of Christian antisemitism. U.K. journalist Melanie Phillips is a notable Jewish critic of Sizer and has condemned him in her writings. British Jewish historian Geoffrey Alderman has also criticized Sizer for masking his religious prejudice in "academic guise." Jewish Christians and Messianic Jews such as Aaron Abramson and Jacob Prasch have also expressed their strong disagreement with Sizer's views.
Sizer's books have been endorsed by Jewish academics such as the Reform Jewish Rabbi Dan Cohn-Sherbok and Middle East historian Norton Mezvinsky.
