Title: Where is the history?
Product review: Constantine's Sword is a disappointing book. I was expecting a sprawling saga of the history of anti-semitism in the Catholic Church, but instead got the author's diary. There a too many personal anecdotal stories in the text. Everytime I was getting interested in what he was saying he told a story either about his Irish Uncle in the British military or his incestuous desires for his mother. Maybe its me but what does the Pieta and lust for your mother have to do with anti-semitism in the church? Plus, he quotes dubious scholars to present his information. John Dominic Crossan? Crossan discounts the resurrection and the person of Jesus in his writings. So what does he have to do with the hatred of the Jews in church history? I wish this were a better book.
