A History of Catholic Antisemitism by R Michael

A History of Catholic Antisemitism by R Michael

Moving from the Catholic Church's pagan origins, through the Roman era, middle ages, and Reformation to the present, Robert Michael here provides a definitive history of Catholic antisemitism.

"Michael's work is path-breaking, in that few before him have tackled both the historical and theological foundations of Catholic antisemitism and, at the same time, traced its path from biblical times all the way through to AuschwitzIn this, Michael is brave; but, as this outstanding work shows, his bravery is vindicated. His treatment of such topics as the Church s age-old and ongoing dehumanization of the Jews, coupled with its failure to confront that supreme manifestation of evil that became manifest in the Nazis, is an important contribution to an already massive literature on antisemitism and the Holocaust." - Paul R. Bartrop, Head, Department of History, Bialik College, Melbourne, Australia
