Confessing Christ in a Post-Holocaust World : A Midrashic Experiment PDF
by Knight Henry F. Knight
Part of the Contributions to the Study of Religion: Christianity and the Holocaust-Core Issues series
Description
The questions posed by the Holocaust force faithful Christians to reexamine their own identities and loyalties in fundamental ways and to recognize the necessity of excising the Church's historic anti-Jewish rhetoric from its confessional core.
This volume proposes a new framework of meaning for Christians who want to remain both faithful and critical about a world capable of supporting such evil.
The author has rooted his critical perspective in the midrashic framework of Jewish hermeneutics, which requires Christians to come to terms with the significant other in their confessional lives.
By bringing biblical texts and the history of the Holocaust face to face, this volume aims at helping Jews and Christians understand their own traditions and one another's.
