Paperback or Softback. Condizione: New. Auschwitz and Absolution: The Case of the Commandant and the Confessor. Book.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Few people know that in the face of his execution, the notorious Rudolf Hoess, the Commandant for Auschwitz, met with a Polish Jesuit priest, Fr. Wladyslaw Lohn. Hoess made a confession to Fr. Lohn for approximately four hours, and from Fr. Lohn he received communion. This compelling account of a secret and sacramental meeting not only tells what happened but seventeen Christian and Jewish scholars offer a critical challenge to, or celebration of Christian notions of forgiveness.We have access to Hoesss confession by way of selections from his published memoirs. Fr. Lohn said almost nothing about his encounter and certainly nothing about the confession itself. In addition to writing a thorough introduction to this encounter, in order to contemplate the priests thoughts, James Bernauer has composed a work of imagination, a diary of how this Jesuit might have scrutinized this meeting. Bernauers hope is that, in addition to giving a sense of a historical encounter, the reader will perform their own imaginative reflection on the issues. Throughout the work, the limitations on religious absolution of sin are heightened by recall of alternative Christian practices (historical and contemporary), as well as Dietrich Bonhoeffers warnings about cheap grace. "An Auschwitz commandant's confession to a Catholic priest poses a critical challenge to Christian notions of forgiveness"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
