Synopsis:

A warning of the dangers when military power and religious fervor are joined, Constantine’s Sword is an astonishing exploration of the history of anti-Semitism. The film follows acclaimed National Book Award winner and former priest, James Carroll, on a journey to discover a terrible legacy of religiously sanctioned violence across the centuries: from the Emperor Constantine’s vision of the cross as a sword and symbol of power to the modern reverberations of religious extremism.
