Bøger af Richard Francis Crane

Description:In his lifetime. French philosopher Jacques Maritain (1882- 1973) achieved a reputation as both a leading Catholic intellectual and an outspoken critic of anti-Semitism. Here, historian Richard Francis Crane traces the development of Maritain''s opposition toward anti-Semitism and analyzes the Catholic appreciation of Judaism that animated his stance. Crane probes the writings and teachings of Maritain - from before, during and after the Holocaust - and illuminates how his ideas altered Christian perceptions of Jews and Judaism during his lifetime and continue to do so today.
