Long Night's Journey into Day
A Revised Retrospective on the Holocaust

Alice L. Eckardt and A. Roy Eckardt
Forewords by Franklin H. Littell and Irving Greenberg
Long Night's Journey into Day is a controversial and stimulating attempt to deal with the impact of the Holocaust within the framework of modern-day Christian and Jewish thought. In this enlarged and revised edition, authors Alice and Roy Eckardt probe the moral, theological, historical, and political issues raised for Christians and Jews by the event. In addition, they take into account contemporary topics such as the significance and aftermath of Bitburg and the remarkable statement of the Rhineland Synod of the German Evangelical Church. "The book is a powerful plea for Christian and Jewish theologians to re-examine their theology in light of the 'uniquely unique' event of the Holocaust." — Edwin Robertson, Theology

"A searing indictment of both the barbarism of the event and the Christian teachings which played a not insignificant role in preparing it." — Heritage
