DESCRIPTION:
This is an extension of a course offered last spring, which explored the history of anti-Semitism as laid out in the book “Constantine’s Sword” by the ex-priest James Carroll. As we continue our reading, we will discover it is really two books—one about the long and difficult relationship between Judaism and Catholicism, and the other about Carroll’s own struggle with his faith and relationship with the church. Those who did not take the class last year are welcome to join this course if they read the first half of the book before 9/23.
Required Reading: James Carroll, Constantine’s Sword: The Church and the Jews—A History (Mariner Books, 2002).
