bbWhat role might the New Testament have played in the cultural history of anti-Semitism that culminated in the Holocaust? And how has the Holocaust in turn affected the way we read-or should read-the founding text of Christianity? Although the philosophical, ethical, and theological implications of the Holocaust have received much attention in recent years, its implications for our practices of biblical interpretation have gone largely unexplored. In A Shadow of Glory some of the most prominent contemporary scholars in biblical studies and Jewish studies-both Christian and Jewish, American and European-lay the groundwork for a new post-Holocaust hermeneutics.
Industry Reviews

"These high-caliber essays provide much food for thought and may break new ground for a post-Holocaust hermeneutics." -- Shabbat Shalom
"This provocative collection of essays follows the lead of its subtitle...the reader who works through these essays will clearly benefit from the urgent and serious way their authors have raised the issue." -- The Bible Today May/June 2003
"[An] excellent set of seventeen essays...I highly recommend this book as required reading for all in the field of Christian Testament studies, to help us begin to set the data and the questions right and to help us interrogate courageously the texts and our own interpretations for any trace of the 'the teaching of contempt' and of the avoidance of the big questions raised here." -- Journal of Biblical Literature
