• Constantine's Sword a selective history!
  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.

• Excellent, scholarly.
  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.

• Contantine's Sword
  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.

• Constantine's Sword - DVD
  I read Carroll's book and thought it was very informative. I bought the DVD hoping to see him expound on some of the themes in the book, but I was dissappointed to see that the documentary mostly looked at a few religious leaders and Carroll's trip to the Vatican.
  I loved the book, but the DVD is worth waiting until the price comes down.
