| Summary: | This book calls to mind Franklin Littell's well-known insistence that Nazi genocide be regarded as a “mass apostasy of the baptized.”1 It represents the latest installment2 in an ongoing re-examination of the Holocaust and its theological legacy by three younger German scholars. Norbert Reck serves on the editorial staff of the ecumenical Catholic journal Concilium; his Protestant co-authors are colleagues in the Department of Religious Studies at St. Mary's College (Maryland). As Reck notes in his introduction, their project involves a “self-critical re-reading of Christian traditions that failed to prevent million-fold murder” (p. 13). |
