Constantine's Sword : The Church and the Jews--A History
Overview
In a bold and moving book that was destined to spark heated debate, James Carroll maps the profoundly troubling two-thousand-year course of the Church's battle against Judaism, and in so doing, faces a 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. The Church's failure to protest the Holocaust-- the infamous "silence" of Pius XII -- is only part of the story: the death camps, Carroll shows, are a culmination of the long, entrenched tradition of anti-Judaism. Carroll reconstructs the dramatic story of the Church's conflict not only with Jews but with itself.
