Product Detail

Name:	Constantine's Sword: The Church and the Jews
Product Code:	0618219080
Description:	By James Carroll
Product Detail:	The novelist and cultural critic James Carroll maps the troubling two-thousand-year course of the 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. In Carroll’s opinion, the Church’s failure to protest the Holocaust is only part of the story: the death camps are the culmination of a long, entrenched tradition of anti-Judaism; from Gospel accounts of the death of Jesus on the cross, to Constantine’s transformation of the cross into a sword, to the rise of blood libels, scapegoating, and modern anti-Semitism. Demanding that the Church finally face this past in full, Carroll calls for a rethinking of the deepest questions of Christian faith so that all who carry the burden of this history begin to forge a new future.
