This volume sheds light on the transformed post-Holocaust
relationship between Catholics and Jews. Once implacable
theological foes, the two traditions have travelled a great
distance in coming to view the other with respect and dignity.
Responding to the horrors of Auschwitz, the Catholic Church has
undergone a "reckoning of the soul," beginning with its landmark
document Nostra Aetate and embraced a positive theology of Judaism
including the ongoing validity of the Jewish covenant. Jews have
responded to this unprecedented outreach, especially in the
document Dabru Emet. Together, these two Abrahamic traditions have
begun seeking a repair of the world. The road has been rocky and
certainly obstacles remain. Nevertheless, authentic interfaith
dialogue remains a new and promising development in the search for
a peace.

Confronting Genocide: Judaism, Christianity, Islam is the first
collection of essays by recognized scholars primarily in the field
of religious studies to address this timely topic. In addition to
theoretical thinking about both religion and genocide and the
relationship between the two, these authors look at the tragedies
of the Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide, Rwanda, Bosnia, and the
Sudan from their own unique vantage point. In so doing, they supply
a much needed additional contribution to the ongoing conversations
proffered by historians, political scientists, sociologists,
psychologists, and legal scholars regarding prevention,
intervention, and punishment.
