Product Description:
Constantine's Sword is an astonishing exploration of the dark side of Christianity, following acclaimed author and former priest James Carrol on a journey of rememberance and reckoning. Warning of what happens when military power and religious fervor are joined, this new film from Oscar-nominated director Oren Jacoby asks: Is the fanaticism that threatens the world today fueled by our own deeply held beliefs?

Jim Carrol presents a scholarly and truthful presentation of Christianity and its roll in the world since Emperor Constantine at about 320. He also explores Christianity's effect on Jews for the past 1700 years, in a most honest and open way.
Carrol deserves a humanitarian prize for his scholarly work.

James Carroll has written and produced a excellent documentary but very selective Social History of Europe to modern times. The flaw in his study is in his overly narrow focus not in his facts. His is a history of the interactions between the three great western religions. In doing so Mr. Carroll ignores hundreds bloody events that make up Judeo-Christian-Islamic history. These could easily be documented beginning with the Old Testament Genesis and Deuteronomy leading into the New Testament and Medieval. ... Read More

In his scholarly work, James Carroll, a former Catholic priest, becomes a modern-day Indiana Jones. His quest is to understand the role of Christianity in the persecution of Jews in ancient times as well as today. Not only is Carroll courageous and honest in his evaluation, but he exposes how other priests who wish to expose similar findings are systematically sidelined or silenced. Carroll should win a prize for his excellent documentary.
Rating: -
One great book with a focus on what Christians do as opposed to what the religion says it is about. Always with the Western world, it is self interest above the professions of morality, righteousness, or love.
