Decoding the Levinas's philosophy of Judaism within a Heideggerian and Pauline framework,...

Narrative Theology After Auschwitz: From Alienation to Ethics
ISBN: 9780788505959 / Angielski / Miękka / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

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.
