Table of ContentsReviews"""Martin Rumscheidt's In Search of a Theology Capable of Mourning is an immensely important analysis of post-Holocaust Christian theology. It is profoundly insightful, painfully sensitive, and courageously penetrating. Rumscheidt's vision of theology's incursion into history and history's incursion into theology is unparalleled. Written with a sense of calling, this book calls out to us all. And it summons us to a reckoning."" --David Patterson, Hillel Feinberg Chair in Holocaust Studies, University of Texas at Dallas ""This is a moving book. Martin Rumscheidt confronts the challenges for Christian theology after the Shoah recognizing himself as a child of a perpetrator. Choosing an honest, personal approach and avoiding any abstractions he profoundly combs through major problems of contemporary theology. Everyone concerned about the troubles of Christianity after Auschwitz and in search for 'a theology capable of mourning' should read this book."" --Andreas Pangritz, Professor of Systematic Theology, University of Bonn, Germany ""This book is a fascinating and provocative collection of religious reflections by one of today's most creative and provocative theologians, Martin Rumscheidt. Drawing from his own personal experience as a son of Nazi Germany, Rumscheidt explores how Christianity might recover its integrity and lead the world forward in a moral and spiritual revolution. He speaks to Christians, Jews, and all those concerned with the consequences of war, genocide, and human cruelty."" --Susannah Heschel, Eli Black Professor of Jewish Studies, Dartmouth College" Martin Rumscheidt's In Search of a Theology Capable of Mourning is an immensely important analysis of post-Holocaust Christian theology.
