The Holocaust lies, often unacknowledged, near the heart of our
contemporary crisis of religious faith. The horrific fruit of two
millennia of Christian antisemitism, the slaughter calls into sharp
question the moral and intellectual credibility of the Churches and
the Christian faith itself. Can Christianity ever recover? In
Broken Gospel? Peter Waddell suggests that it can, but only by
facing unflinchingly the history that paved the way for the Nazi
genocide, and the Churches' sins of omission and commission as it
took place. Engaging with both Christian and Jewish scholarship,
Waddell also approaches with sensitivity the theological issues
that arise from the horror: questions of how the claimed holiness
of the Church relates to its wickedness; of Christian-Jewish
relations; of prayer and providence; of heaven and hell, and the
faint possibility of forgiveness. Scholars, clergy and general
readers alike will be challenged by this exercise in repentance and
reconstruction, and inspired by the possibility it offers for
Christian theology and practice to flourish once more.
