Turmoil still grips the Middle East, and fear can still paralyze
post-9/11 America. The comforts and challenges of this book are
thus as timely as when it was first published in 1987. With new
reflections on the future of Judaism and Israel, Ellis underscores
the enduring problem of justice. Ellis' use of liberation theology
to make connections between the Holocaust and contemporary
communities from the Third World reminds both Jews and oppressed
Christians that they share common ground in the experiences of
abandonment, suffering, and death. The connections also reveal that
Jews and Christians share a common cause in the battle against
idolatry - represented now by obsessions for personal affluence,
national security, and ethnic survival. According to Ellis, Jews
and Christians must never allow the reality of anti-Semitism to
become an excuse for evading solidarity with the oppressed peoples
- be they African, Asian, Latin American or, especially,
Palestinian.
