Carol Rittner Book order

The Holocaust and the Christian World is a gripping book in which Christian and Jewish scholars present essays that detail the world's descent into the madness of anti-Semitism. Exploring the harmful effects of scholarly treatments of Scripture (minimizing or mythologizing the Jewish character of the Old Testament), Darwinian views of "the races," and Hitler's ghastly plans for the "Final Solution" (with widespread Christian silence), these essays give a brilliant overview while adding thoughtful detail. The book includes timelines, resource lists, and church statements regarding the Holocaust and is also packed with many archival photographs. This new edition of the book also includes documentation of more recent efforts to repent and to change the teaching of contempt within various Christian churches.

During the September 1992 Beyond Hate: Living with our deepest Differences conference, the American improvisational pianist, John Bayless, gave a concert to an enthusiastic audience of conference participants and guests. His repertoire ranged from Beethoven to Gershwin, from We Shall Overcome to Danny Boy. Bayless captivated his audience. His ability to go 'beyond' familiar music, to create 'new' music from 'different' musical scores was an artistic metaphor challenging us to find concrete ways to move 'beyond hate' and learn how to 'live with our deepest differences'.
