Publisher's Note
In a bold and moving book that is sure to spark heated debate, 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, this dark history is the central tragedy of Western civilization, its fault lines reaching deep into our culture.

Industry Reviews
"[It] is a book of a deeper sort--a rigorous theological and moral dialectic that Carroll, the author of AN AMERICAN REQUIEM never removes from the personal necessity of choice, for good over evil, for memory over denial and for love over power."
New York Times - Andrew Sullivan (01/14/2001)

"CONSTANTINE'S SWORD is a highly risky enterprise, and though Carroll sways occasionally, he manages to traverse the 616-page high wire without toppling into the abyss of generalized guilt, and without ever losing the reader's rapt attention. It is the stunning achievement of a fine writer."
Beliefnet - Harvey Cox (01/01/2001)

"[Carroll] is primarily a novelist and freely uses novelistic techniques....But Carroll has control of his material, and he never slips over the line into mere artifice or self-indulgence....Altogether, CONSTANTINE'S SWORD is a triumph, a tragic tale beautifully told, a welcome throwback to an age when history was a branch of literature rather than a narrow academic specialty."
Atlantic Monthly - Charles R. Morris (01/01/2001)

"...compelling, poignant, and scandalous....The primary virtue of this massive book is in its cumulative effect....If the reader grants Carroll his major premise, that the Catholic Church's anti-Semitic theology is based on the anti-Semitism of the New Testament, Church tradition, and church authorities, the consequence is devastating."
Ruminator Review - Mike Lackey
