There can be little doubt that the Holocaust was an event of
major consequence for the twentieth century. While there have been
innumerable volumes published on the implications of the Holocaust
for history, philosophy, and ethics, there has been a surprising
lack of attention paid to the theoretical and practical effects of
the Shoah on biblical interpretation.
Strange Fire addresses the implications of the Holocaust for
interpretation of the Hebrew Bible, bringing together a diverse and
distinguished range of contributors, including Richard Rubenstein,
Elie Wiesel, and Walter Brueggemann, to discuss theoretical and
methodological considerations emerging from the Shoah and to
demonstrate the importance of these considerations in the reading
of specific biblical texts. The volume addresses such issues as
Jewish and Christian biblical theology after the Holocaust, the
ethics of Christian appropriation of Jewish scripture, and the
rethinking of biblical models of suffering and sacrifice from a
post-Holocaust perspective.
The first book of its kind, Strange Fire will establish a
benchmark for all future work on the topic.
