Jews and Judaism have been profoundly affected by the horrific course of the Holocaust, and by the formation of Israel as a Jewish nation-state. These have been the major themes in the Times' treatment of Judaism, in thousands of articles, from the 1970s to the present.
This book serves as a comprehensive guide not only to Catholicism, headlined by its evangelizing pope and the sexual abuse scandal of its clergy, but also to Times journalism during the epoch of Pope John Paul II.
