Download or read book Humanity at the Limit written by Michael Alan Signer and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five decades after the end of World War II, issues relating to the history and meaning of the Holocaust, far from fading from social consciousness, have, if anything intensified. New generations probe the past and its implications for understanding human behavior. As fresh information about the particularities of the Holocaust comes to light, we know more and more about how these events happened, but the deeper question of "why" remains unanswered. In this compelling volume, Jewish and Christian thinkers from Israel, Germany, and Eastern Europe, as well as the United States and Canada, among them scholars from the fields of history, theology, ethics, genetics, the arts, and literature, confront the legacy of the Holocaust and its continuing impact from the perspectives of their disciplines. The issue of religion is central, as the Vatican's 1998 statement We Remember: Reflections on the Shoah prompts Jewish and Christian contributors to address issues of responsibility, evil, and justice within their concrete historical and social settings. The essays in this important interfaith, international, and interdisciplinary volume will leave readers pondering the unavoidable question: what, in view of the crimes of the Holocaust, is the nature of human nature? -- Amazon.com.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theological problems facing those trying to respond to the Holocaust remain monumental. Both Jewish and Christian post-Auschwitz religious thought must grapple with profound questions, from how God allowed it to happen to the nature of evil. The Impact of the Holocaust on Jewish Theology brings together a distinguished international array of senior scholars—many of whose work is available here in English for the first time—to consider key topics from the meaning of divine providence to questions of redemption to the link between the Holocaust and the creation of the State of Israel. Together, they push our thinking further about how our belief in God has changed in the wake of the Holocaust.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marc Ellis fine book about the future of the Jewish community was first published in 1987. But twenty years on, in the light of recent events in the Middle East and post-September 11, its powerful message of hope, directed towards a people 'poised between Holocaust and empowerment', remains as powerful, apposite, and pressingly relevant as it was before. Ellis begins with two poles: the holocaust and the pain and vision that issue from it. This leads him into ethics, and he highlights the contrast between the depth of Jewish ethical commitment and the paucity of renewal movements within Judaism. The author then addresses all suffering peoples, and the Christian liberation movements active among them, so that the holocaust may be set in a wider context. Against this background, Ellis sees it as essential that the journeys and visions of dissenting Jews - such as Etty Hillesum and Martin Buber - should be re-appraised. An alternative perspective of what it means to be Jewish begins to emerge, and in the final chapter a Jewish theology of liberation is essayed, which is a theology prepared 'to enter the danger zones of contemporary Jewish life', often at some cost.

Download or read book Long Night s Journey into Day written by Alice L. Eckardt and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long Night's Journey Into Day is a stimulating and provocative attempt to deal with the impact and meaning of the Holocaust within contemporary Christian and Jewish thought. To Jews, the Holocaust is the most terrible happening in their history, but it must also be seen as a Christian event. The Eckardts call for a radical rethinking of the Christian faith in the light of the Holocaust, examining such issues as the relation between human and demonic culpability, the charge of God's guilt, and the reality of forgiveness. They clarify the theological meaning of the Holocaust and the responsibility that must be borne for it by the Christian Church, and discuss possible responses to it as exemplified in the writings of selected modern theologians and church councils. This enlarged and revised edition takes into account new topics and developments, including the issue of Austrian responsibility for the Holocaust, the significance and aftermath of Bitburg, and antisemitism in German feminism. More detailed attention is also given to other modern genocides and occasions of humanly-caused mass death. Additional literary, historical, and religious works are considered and appropriate quotations incorporated. The new edition also includes a revised preface, an updated bibliography and two new appendices.
Download or read book Prospects for Post Holocaust Theology written by Stephen R. Haynes and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work examines the significance of "Israel" for Christianity in the pre-Holocaust theology of Karl Barth, and the post-holocaust theologies developed by Jurgen Moltmann and Paul van Buren. Concluding that Barth's "radical traditionalism" is an unsuitable basis for developing apost-Holocaust theology, the author turns to more promising work expressed by the "messianic theology" of Moltmann and the "radical theology" of van Buren. The book then distinguishes the work of Moltmann and van Buren from the work known as Holocaust theology, and places their work in the light ofboth the Reformed tradition and the revision of Christian doctrine after Auschwitz. The study concludes by discussing both the resources and obstacles facing post-Holocaust Christian theology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expounds a wide spectrum of problems of post-Holocaust theology: Christianity and Nazism; psychoanalytic interpretation of the connection between religion and the Final Solution; the religious meaning of the Holocaust; the Auschwitz convent controversy. Argues that Nazism as theory and practice was neither the ultimate expression of atheism nor a kind of neo-paganism; on the contrary, it was a monotheistic "anti-religion" which emerged as a rebellion against Christianity, but greatly used its ideas and images, especially that of the "mythological Jew", "Judas". Reveals the religiomythic element in the Holocaust (e.g. the perpetrators fulfilled a religious mission), which singles out this phenomenon from the other cases of genocide. ǂc (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism).
Download or read book God After Auschwitz written by Zachary Braiterman and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1998-11-23 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of technology-enhanced mass death in the twentieth century, argues Zachary Braiterman, has profoundly affected the future shape of religious thought. In his provocative book, the author shows how key Jewish theologians faced the memory of Auschwitz by rejecting traditional theodicy, abandoning any attempt to justify and vindicate the relationship between God and catastrophic suffering. The author terms this rejection "Antitheodicy," the refusal to accept that relationship. It finds voice in the writings of three particular theologians: Richard Rubenstein, Eliezer Berkovits, and Emil Fackenheim. This book is the first to bring postmodern philosophical and literary approaches into conversation with post-Holocaust Jewish thought. Drawing on the work of Mieke Bal, Harold Bloom, Jacques Derrida, Umberto Eco, Michel Foucault, and others, Braiterman assesses how Jewish intellectuals reinterpret Bible and Midrash to re-create religious thought for the age after Auschwitz. In this process, he provides a model for reconstructing Jewish life and philosophy in the wake of the Holocaust. His work contributes to the postmodern turn in contemporary Jewish studies and today's creative theology.
Download or read book Antisemitism Christian Ambivalence and the Holocaust written by Kevin P. Spicer and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2007-05-31 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirteen essays exploring the role of antisemitism in the political and intellectual life of Europe. In recent years, the mask of tolerant, secular, multicultural Europe has been shattered by new forms of antisemitic crime. Though many of the perpetrators do not profess Christianity, antisemitism has flourished in Christian Europe. In this book, thirteen scholars of European history, Jewish studies, and Christian theology examine antisemitism’s insidious role in Europe’s intellectual and political life. The essays reveal that annihilative antisemitic thought was not limited to Germany, but could be found in the theology and liturgical practice of most of Europe’s Christian churches. They dismantle the claim of a distinction between Christian anti-Judaism and neo-pagan antisemitism and show that, at the heart of Christianity, hatred for Jews overwhelmingly formed the milieu of twentieth-century Europe. “This volume’s inclusion of essays on several different Christian traditions, as well as the Jewish perspective on Christian antisemitism make it especially valuable for understanding varieties of Christian antisemitism and ultimately, the practice and consequences of exclusionary thinking in general. In bringing a range of theological and historical perspectives to bear on the question of Christian and Nazi antisemitism, the book broadens our view on the question, and is of great value to historians and theologians alike.” —Maria Mazzenga, Catholic University of America, H-Catholic, February 2009 “Sheds light on and offers steps to overcome the locked-in conflict between Jews and Christians along the antisemitic path from Calvary to Auschwitz and beyond.” —Zev Garber, Los Angeles Valley College and American Jewish University, Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies, Vol. 27, No. 1 Fall 2008
Download or read book Death And Birth Juda written by Jacob Neusner and published by . This book was released on 1987-02-17 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discusses Christianity's rise to power in the 4th century, with concomitant Jewish powerlessness, as decisive factors in forming Torah Judaism, which was the Jewish way of life until the impact of secularism. Ch. 6 (pp. 225-253), "Zionism: Reversion to an Invented Past, " stresses Jewish self-emancipation as a response to the failure of Europe's promise to emancipate the Jews. Zionism called for a Jewish state, where all Jews could live and be free of antisemitism. Claims that history proved that Zionism was right regarding the danger that led to the Holocaust; thus, Zionism increasingly gained adherents, especially after World War II. Ch. 7 (pp. 254-284), "The American Judaism of Holocaust and Redemption, " focuses on the centrality of the "myth" that connects the Holocaust and the State of Israel. Against the background of American antisemitism in the 1930s-40s and the lethal Nazi antisemitism, stresses how third-generation Jewish Americans construct their identity and way of life. American Jews accept their Jewishness, since antisemitism has proved there is no escape from being a Jew. After the Holocaust, American Jews view themselves as being among the "saved" but do not believe they need to make aliyah, as the Zionist response to antisemitism requires. Instead, they busy themselves with sacred activities related to surviving as Jews, especially preserving Israel as a refuge from antisemitism.
