Trials of the Catholic Church
2000 Years of Jewish/Christian Relations
The Millennium Series

The Catholic Church was heir to the Roman Empire and with all that power in its hands, it began a concerted policy of converting Jews. Under severe pressure, many individual Jews did convert, but many more clung on despite the hardships of poverty and even under the threat of death. From the Inquisition to the Crusades, Rabbi Wein portrays Jewish life under Christian rule in the Middle Ages.
