'''''Constantine's Sword: The Church and the Jews: A History''''' (2001) is a book by [[James P. Carroll|James Carroll]], a former [[priest]], which documents the role of the [[Roman Catholic Church]] in the long European history of [[religious antisemitism]] as a precursor to racial [[antisemitism]]. The primary source of anti-Jewish violence is the perennial obsession with [[Conversion of the Jews (future event)|converting the Jews to Christianity]]; an event which some [[theologian]]s believed would usher in the Second Coming.
