Christian Resistance to Anti-Semitism

Product Description

One of the world's greatest theologians contributes extraordinary documentary evidence about the role of the Catholic Church in opposing anti-semitism during the Nazi occupation of France. A key participant in France's "spiritual Resistance" Cardinal de Lubac reveals for the first time the facts surrounding his own clandestine activities against anti-semitism during the Nazi occupation.

He was one of the principal theologians of the clandestine Cahiers du Temoignage chretien (Notebooks of Christian Witness) which, from 1941 to 1944, allowed the voice of the Church and the persecuted to be heard. As a theologian and historian by profession, de Lubac is one of the last great figures from whom we may gather testimony about the Church's important role during the Nazi invasion.

In the process he provides fascinating portraits of some of the period's most controversial figures and a precise analysis and clarification of significant documents and events. This deeply personal memoir will surely prove to be a source of inspiration and encouragement for all who seek to live their Faith in a world of opposing values.
