Elie Wiesel: A Challenge to Theology

AUTHOR Walker, Graham B.
PUBLISHER McFarland & Company (09/04/2012)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description

"Something happened a generation ago, to the world, to man. Something happened to God. Certainly something happened to the relations between man and God, man and man, man and himself"--Elie Wiesel. The literary voice of Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor and eloquent witness, has been heard in the world and its importance was verified in 1986 by the Nobel Peace Prize.

This work will help the reader understand the evolution of Wiesel's writing. Many fascinating topics are covered--Jesus as a "wandering Jew," the prototype of Christian pilgrimage, various theological responses to the Holocaust (e.g., Rabbinic, radical, Mad Midrashic), and the ambiguity of a listening God.
