Book excerpt: This is the story of the 1964 Declaration on the Jews, inspired by Jewish groups attempting to free themselves from the gospel charges of deicide; its passage, but the refusal by Pope Paul VI to accept and promulgate it. The reworked Declaration was passed by the Council and promulgated as the ""Schema on non-Christian Religions" in 1965. This is the enthralling account of the battles behind the scenes of the Council by various factions, for and against the Declaration, with the ultimate victory of traditional Christian doctrine, though it was a near run thing. "Judaism and the Vatican" has been retranslated and enlarged to bring it up to date including articles, and August 2018, statements by Pope Benedict XVI.
