Constantine's Sword: the Church Against the Jews: a History
James Carroll
Carroll maps the profoundly troubling 2,000-year
course of the Catholic Church's battle against Judaism and faces the
crisis of faith it has provoked in his own life as a Catholic. More than a
chronicle of religion, this dark history is the central tragedy of Western
Civilization, its fault lines reaching deep into our culture. Demanding
that the Church finally face this past in full, Carroll calls for a
fundamental rethinking of the deepest questions of Christian faith.
