Thanh Dia Palestina Thoi Chua Giesu [“Holy Palestine in the Time of Jesus.”]

Published by the Theological University Seminary of Hue, the former imperial capital of Vietnam. From the timeline posted on the Public Broadcasting System’s “Vietnam Online” section of The American Experience: Tensions between Buddhists and the Diem government are further strained as Diem, a Catholic, removes Buddhists from several key government positions and replaces them with Catholics. Buddhist monks protest Diem’s intolerance for other religions and the measures he takes to silence them. In a show of protest, Buddhist monks start setting themselves on fire in public places.
