First published 2013. This ground-breaking book examines the lives
of two extraordinary, religious women. Both Edith Stein and Regina
Jonas were German Jewish women who demonstrated 'deviant' religious
desires as they pursued their spiritual paths to serve their
communities during the Holocaust. Both were religious visionaries
viewed as iconoclasts in their own times. Stein, the first woman to
receive a doctorate in philosophy from Husserl, the founder of
phenomenology, claimed her Jewish identity while she was still a
cloistered Carmelite nun. Jonas, the first woman rabbi in Jewish
history, served as a rabbi in Berlin and Theresienstadt
concentration camp. A study of a contemplative and a rabbi, the
book ranges across many spiritual and theological questions, not
least it offers a remarkable exploration of the theology of
spiritual resistance. For Stein, this meant redemption and the
transmutation of suffering on the cross; for Jonas, acts of
compassion bring the face of God into our presence.
