Christianity, Tragedy, and Holocaust Literature, Hardback Book

Christianity, Tragedy, and Holocaust Literature Hardback

Part of the Contributions to the Study of Religion: Christianity and the Holocaust-Core Issues series

Hardback

Description

Identifying elements of the Christian worldview that have influenced our theories of tragedy, Steele demonstrates how these theories fail when applied to Holocaust literature.

The challenge of interpreting Holocaust literature is highlighted by a close investigation of the extent to which Christian thought, especially the view of transcendence, has permeated theories of interpretation.

The author appeals for a new theory of tragedy which would allow an understanding of Holocaust literature without Christian interpretive biases.

This book will be of interest to scholars of Holocaust literature, religion, and literary criticism.
