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
