Description
When first published in 1966, "After Auschwitz" made headlines and sparked controversy as Jewish "death-of-God" theology. In this substantially revised and expanded edition, Rubenstein returns to old questions and addresses new issues with the same passion and spirit that characterized his original work. "Significant and often exciting ...Rubenstein's discussions are often superb".--"Saturday Review". (Judaism)
Reviews / Votes
All of the essays in this edition are passionate and provocative and some are brilliant. As the summation of decades of burningly honest inquiry into some of the most fundamental issues in modern history, this work will remain one of the seminal books of this generation.
