{"product_id":"pope-pius-xii-architect-for-peace-9780809139125","title":"Pope Pius XII: Architect for Peace","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlthough the subject of much controversy among Christians and Jews alike  Pius XII was not insensitive to the plight of the Jews in World War II  but on the contrary did much in his own way to save them. This is the thrust of Dr. Marchiones book  continuing the painstaking research she began in Yours Is a Precious Witness. That was an oral history from Jewish survivors who credit Pius XII with saving them from the Nazis. This new book taps wartime Vatican documents--long available and long ignored--to provide persuasive evidence that the \"silent Pope\" was working for peace. Her fascinating book makes available for the first time English translations of Vatican documents and wartime correspondence  revealing the Vaticans little-known wartime campaign that saved almost a million Jews. Dr. Marchione incorporates expert analyses and commentaries on the subject  and dozens of photos  appendices  and notes--all to balance what has been till now a very one-sided look at events. Because of its documentary value  this title is must reading by anyone who has an opinion on Pius XII  although each side may find further argument in it. Its also critically important for Church historians  Church leaders  Holocaust scholars  and anyone involved in the Jewish-Christian dialogue.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279897550901,"sku":"ByrdShop_080913912X","price":39.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780809139125.jpg?v=1780615498","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/pope-pius-xii-architect-for-peace-9780809139125","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
