Abstract

"In this "rare book that combines searing passion . . . with a subject that has affected all of our lives" (Chicago Tribune), the novelist and cultural critic James Carroll maps the profoundly 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, reaching deep into our culture. A courageous and affecting reckoning with difficult truths that will touch every reader, Constantine's Sword is truly a book for our times
