Constantine's Sword

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Constantine's Sword: The Church and the Jews - A History (2001) is a controversial book by James P. Carroll, a former priest, who attributes to the Catholic Church a history of antisemitism and argues that this became the foundation for the hatred that led to the Holocaust perpetrated by the Nazis.

The book's title refers to Constantine's transformation of the cross into a sword with which to conquer non-Christians.

A documentary film of the same name, "Constantine's Sword" based on the book is being shown at film festivals in August 2007. It is directed by Oren Jacoby, who is also listed as a producer, and written by James Carroll and Oren Jacoby, and the production company is Storyville Films.
