Grace in Auschwitz - A Holocaust Christology (Hardcover)

The postmodern human condition and relationship to God were forged
in response to Auschwitz. Christian theology must now address the
challenge posed by the Shoah. Grace in Auschwitz offers a
constructive theology of grace that enables twenty-first-century
Westerners to relate meaningfully to the Christian tradition in the
wake of the Holocaust and unprecedented evil. Through narrative
theological testimonial history, the first part articulates the
human condition and relationship to God experienced by
concentration camp inmates. The second part draws from the lives
and works of Simone Well, Dorothee Solle, Dietrich Bonhoeffer,
Alfred Delp, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Sergei Bulgakov to propose
and apply a coherent kenotic model enabling the transposition of
the Christian doctrine of grace into categories strongly
correlating with the experience of Auschwitz survivors. This model
centers on the vulnerable Jesus Christ, a God who takes on the
burden of the human condition and freely suffers alongside and for
human beings. In and through the person ofJesus, God is made
present and active in the midst of spiritual desolation and
destitution, providing humanity and solace to others.
