Father, Forgive Us: A Christian Response to the Church's Heritage of Jewish Persecution

This passionate work takes a hard look at serious matters. What comes to mind when a Jewish person hears the word "Christian?" What role did the Church play in the persecution of Jewish people throughout the ages? Beginning with Ignatius of Antioch (who contended that Jews were in league with the devil) and continuing to the 20th century, we learn how Christians laid the foundations upon which the Nazis built their creed. True healing between the Jewish people and the Church can only happen when the past is acknowledged. Eye-opening 287 pages.
