Book Synopsis
Argues that the impact of technology-enhanced mass death in the twentieth century has affected the future shape of religious thought. This book shows how key Jewish theologians faced the memory of Auschwitz by rejecting traditional theodicy, abandoning any attempt to justify and vindicate the relationship between God and catastrophic suffering.
