| Summary: | Christians helped to ensure the Holocaust through earlier teachings and behavior. The crime of antisemitism continues even now. Ruether shows this in her writing as do also, in a negative way, Daniélou and Moltmann. It is difficult for Christians today to affirm their faith because they have betrayed the originative people of God. Paradoxically, though the Christian crime lives on, the Christian is ‘accepted’. Serious questions are raised about Christianity's moral credibility. The State of Israel may be a sign that God continues to accept human beings apart from Jesus' Resurrection; the State of Israel may thus be seen as a liberating event that restores Christian integrity. |
