Více o knize

Theologically challenging, and deeply personal, in Where Was God? Stephen re-examines the ever important question of God and human suffering. A dialogue among four friends, this book is at once theologically significant and practically profound. It is approachable, simple, and powerful. In "Where Was God?: Understanding the Holocaust in the Light of God's Suffering" theologian S. D. Morrison presents the three most common responses to the Holocaust event (determinism, atheism, and unknowing) along with a fourth option which seeks to be "truly theological." The Holocaust event is one of our century's most significant dilemmas. This book strives to give a clear, Christian response to its happening. Where was God? Does God remain indifferent to human suffering? How can one remain a believer in the aftermath of such tragedies? All these questions and more are discussed in this short book. Inspired by the theology of the renowned 21st-century theologian Jürgen Moltmann, this book seeks to make understandable and practical his essential ideas for both non-theologians and theologians alike.
