1. You have heard it said that on the day of judgment only
Christians will be saved and all others will be consigned to
eternal damnation, but I say to you that the gospel proclaims
salvation for the whole human race.2. You have heard it said that
non-Christians are strangers who will not enter the Kingdom of God,
but I say to you that God enters our lives through the very
presence of the stranger.3. You have heard it said that heretics
and sinners will have no place in the Kingdom of God, but I say to
you that to reject even the least of these is to reject God and
God's messiah.4. You have heard it said that human beings can be
saved in no other name than that of Jesus, but I say to you that
the name "Jesus" means we are saved in the name of a God who cannot
be named or imaged.5. You have heard it said that only a chosen
remnant can be saved, but I say to you that a saving remnant saves
not itself but the whole human race of which it is a part.6. You
have heard it said that in the final judgment many will be
consigned to the eternal fires, but I say to you, God's judgment is
a refining fire which transforms and saves rather than destroys.
The final truth is that our God is the savior of the whole human
race and especially all believers (1Timothy 4:10).
War and Words is a sweeping study of the profound, painful, and
most significantly, defining cultural moments. Working from Homer
through to Hemingway and in all traditions, some of the nation's
best scholars of literature illustrate how literature and language
affect not only the present but also future generations by shaping
history even as they represent it. This powerful collection affirms
that the humanities remain a site of the most profound reflection
on human experience and historical events that have, for better and
worse, shaped world civilization. War and Words offers students of
literature critical tools for reading literary explorations of
ambivalence toward war and provides teachers of literature a
suggested syllabus for a course that has become all too necessary
in a time when all our lives are touched by war.
The fact that Auschwitz, Hiroshima, and Rwanda cast ominous shadows
forward into the future compels us to confront these horrific
results of the human head, heart, and hand. In Genocidal
Temptation, Robert Frey presents a compelling, integrated focus
directed toward the Nazi killing programs, American atomic bombings
in Japan, Tutsi massacres in Rwanda, Soviet genocide in Lithuania,
and other mass killing and repression programs.
Narrative Theology After Auschwitz addresses the pressing question
of the failure of Christian ethics during the Holocaust. It's
concern is to understand how and why so many Christians and
Christian churches either cooperated with the Nazis or stood
passively by while six million Jews were slaughtered. The goal is
to uproot the propensity of Christians to equate "ethics" with
"unquestioning obedience" to authority, and replace it with an
Abrahamic chutzpah or audacity to question all authority, even God
if necessary, in defense of the dignity of the stranger.
