“It’s significance…depends less on immediate reactions and more on what happens 10, 20 or even 100 years after it’s appearance. Goldhagen may be helping to create a new Christianity. It will take time to tell.” – Los Angeles Times
“Breaks important new ground…Not a word is wasted in a book that can only be read with profit by all.” – The Spectator
“An impressive bill of indictments. … Goldhagen’s argument… makes strikingly clear the ways in which the Inquisition, the pogroms, and the Holocaust are links in the same dread historical chain.” – New York Times
“Impeccably researched.” – Sunday Telegraph (UK)
“A compelling, challenging and important book that, God willing, will not become yet another indictment that the Vatican simply sweeps under the rug.” – Independent on Sunday (UK)
“Goldhagen’s critique of the Church is literally root-and-branch.” – Daily Telegraph (UK)
