In this important study, Frank J. Coppa surveys the long history of Jew hatred in the Roman Catholic tradition, the positive and negative role of the papacy therein, and the relationship between the Catholic brand of Jew hatred, so called anti-Judaism, and anti-Semitism.... Coppa's fine book marks the beginnings of a new brand of scholarship on the role of Jew hatred in Roman Catholic and Holocaust history. - Church History ""Coppa has produced what must rank as one of the clearest and most nuanced studies to be had.... The special quality and unique character of this study is Coppa's constant attempt to balance the actions and inaction of the papacy.... Anyone interested in the papacy in the 20th century or in the moral stances of the historical church will find it essential reading."" - Italian Quarterly ""In his introduction to this book, Frank J. Coppa declares that his purpose is to 'provide a historical account of the relationship between the papacy and the Jews in the modern age.' In eight long, fact-filled chapters, Coppa does just that."" - American Historical Review ""Coppa's study is... the best available, single-volume survey of the relationship in the modern period between the papacy and the Jews."" - Theological Studies
