Of God the Devil and the Jews

The noted philosopher shares a far-ranging meditation on the necessity of faith and the many misuses of religion through history. In this volume, Dagobert D. Runes illuminates the history of Western culture in the light of Christian ethics. By exposing the lies and contradictions of the self-proclaimed followers and defenders of faith, he presents a profound indictment of the Western world, and a call to act in accord with our professed ideals. Speaking from his deep knowledge of history as well as religious and philosophical thought, Runes weaves a personal testament that is both emotionally powerful and intellectually rigorous.
