medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I have not read Kruger, but if you are looking specifically for the idea of the
Jew as usurer in Christianity, Brann might disappoint you. I found two works
that specifically deal with usury:
Parkes, J., The Jew in the Medieval Community. A Study of His Political and
Economic Situation, New York, Hermon Press, 1976.
David Ruderman, “Champion of Jewish Economic Interests”, in Essential Papers on
Judaism and Christianity in Conflict : From Late Antiquity to the Reformation,
J. Cohen (ed.), New York, New York University Press, 1991, 514ff.
The latter deals mainly with the later Middle Ages, and specifically also with
Bernardino of Siena.

I would recommend that you consult the following recent works on the general
subject of the protrayal of Jews during the Middle Ages.
Kruger, Steven F. _The spectral Jew: conversion and embodiment in medieval
Europe_ (Minneapolis : University of Minnesota Press, 2006)
Brann, Ross. _Power in the portrayal: representations of Jews and Muslims in
eleventh- and twelfth-century Islamic Spain_ (Princeton, N.J.: Princeton
University Press, 2002)
