4.9/5 (29950 ratings)

Description:"The victim of pogrom is the mirror of the Gentiles."Thus Father Keenan begins the evidence which proves that persecution against the Jews sheds more light on the Christian as un-Christian being than it does on the Jew as a non-Christian being. "It is in our hatreds no less than in our loves," he writes, "that we truly discover what we are."But THE PHOENIX OF THE WEST is neither a history of the Jews nor a treatise on anti-Semitism. It is a book of painful truth. It is a book of passionate insight which pierces straight through the heart of the social and spiritual sickness that produces pogrom.What is pogrom? It is defined here, the "virulent persecution of Jews to the point of extermination." Beginning with the first pogrom of all–that of the Pharaoh under the Sign of the Scorpion as described in the Book of Exodus–and ending with the most terrible pogrom of all since it was carried out in supposedly enlightened times–that of Hitler under the Sign of the Swastika–Father Keenan presents with scalpel-clean precision the causes, mechanics and dreadful meanings of the nine most important and illuminating pogroms in history."There has been in recent years," writes John Connell in the book's Foreword, "a great deal of anthropological and sociological research into almost every facet of anti-Semitism. Father Keenan's short, simple, undeviatingly sincere book says much utterly to the point, which many ponderous volumes have left unsaid. He compels his readers to think and feel on this issue, not in terms of liberal humanism and its elaborate apparatus of science...but as Christians."The author's urgent message is as clear as it is compelling. As Christians we cannot, we must not let pogrom happen. As Christians we must love and protect the Jews. As Christians we must read and absorb the terrible truth which is so hideously hard for many Christians to accept–that again and again pogroms have been launched in the name of Jesus Christ! That again and again we have shown ourselves to be what we are–less than human beings, less than animals, less than even the anti-Semite's own contempuous caricatures of the Abominable Jew, certainly less than Christians!THE PHOENIX OF THE WEST is a book no Jew or Christian is likely to forget in a hurry. It will seep into his consciousness and follow him around for all his days. It will teach him the real meaning of the Baby who died for all men–for Jew as well as for Gentile.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
