Christian Theology After the Shoah cover

This book takes up the challenge of providing a way to do Christian theology that is both sensitive to the questions arising in the Shoah and incorporates the advances of Jewish-Christian dialogue. Moore's approach also offers new thinking on the difficult texts of the Christian passion narratives as an example of the post-Shoah Christian theology. He expresses a hopeful outlook, that we are on the threshold of a new stage in theology and dialogue; a new generation of thinkers, both Jewish and Christian, are asking how we can move forward and apply the lessons learned from the events of the Shoah.

Professor Moore has offered us the 'seeds' for a major shift in the theological orientation of the Christian-Jewish theological discussion... I, for one, am very grateful he has undertaken this line of research and look forward to its further development. -- John T. Pawlikowski, O.S.M, Ph.D., SHOFAR
Moore's careful scholarship...is a welcome vision in an increasingly distorted worldview that celebrates racial strife and ethnic cleansing. -- Zev Garber, Los Angeles Valley College, University of California, Riverside
Professor Moore has written an extremely challenging and creative reinterpretation of basic Christian biblical texts and theological beliefs in light of the Shoah. Even those who may differ with his perspective on particular points will find themselves enriched and stimulated overall for having read it. -- John T. Pawlinkowski, Catholic Theological Union
This book represents the very best of recent Christian theology. -- Joseph A. Edelheit, Temple Israel, Augsburg College
...deserves the attention of every serious student of Christian apologetic in reference to the Jewish people. As such it is also fundamental to any discussion of Christian antisemitism. The work is significant. Dr. Moore's work is top quality.... -- Franklin H. Littell, Baylor University
Moore develops an analysis which is insightful and compelling...[he] rescues meanings otherwise lost in the story of Jesus, and salvages possibilities for discussion otherwise lost in the Christian response to the Holocaust. -- G. David Schwartz, ENCOUNTER
...the book is accessible...for college undergraduates or seminars, a challenge to Paulinists, and helpful for preachers who struggle during Lent for a fresh approach. -- Franklin H. Littell, Baylor University * Theological Studies *
Moore's work is refreshing and makes a single contribution to the conversation as to what constitutes responsible theology after the Shoah. -- Clark M. Williamson, NEW THEOLOGY REVIEW * Theological Studies *
