Riassunto

The Holocaust and the Christian World examines the role of the Christian churches during the Holocaust and its consequences for Christian thought and practice in the contemporary period. The book presents a broad range of perspectives from European, North American, and lsraeli scholars, Christian and Jewish, about individuals and institutions in Nazi-occupied Europe during. World War II and the Holocaust. From heads of state and church to rescuers and survivors, the accounts contained in The Holocaust and the Christian World will confront the uninitiated and inform the interested.Christians have yet to confront the tough reality that the Holocaust challenges and touches almost everything and everyone within the Christian faith. How can you maintain that faith is more important than deeds after the Holocaust? You cannot, unless you are content to go to Church and run the risk of inadvertently condoning genocide.What does it mean to be Christian after Auschwitz? To know that so many of those complicit in the systematic destruction of human life were self-professed Christians? To know that Christian leaders, in Nazi Germany and elsewhere, were loath to acknowledge the very existence of the Holocaust, let alone speak out against it? How' could so many of the faithful utterly fail to) uphold Christ's teachings?Is faith doomed to falter, when God seems impossibly far away?
