131 pages; 20 cm
Summary
Examines the approaches of eight Jewish philosophers and theologians (Bernard Maza, Ignaz Maybaum, Emil Fackenheim, Eliezer Berkovits, Arthur Cohen, Richard Rubenstein, Elie Wiesel, and Marc Ellis) to the religious dilemma posed by the Holocaust. Criticizes their lack of reference to the Hereafter. The traditional Jewish concepts of messianic redemption, resurrection, final judgment, and eternal life have allowed Jews throughout the centuries to reconcile their belief in a benevolent and merciful God with the terrible tragedies they have endured. Only these concepts can sustain Jewish belief in a providential God after the Holocaust.
