Upon presenting the 1986 Nobel Prize for Peace to Elie Wiesel, Egil Aarvick, chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee, hailed him as "a messenger to mankind--not with a message of hate and revenge but with one of brotherhood and atonement." Elie Wiesel: Messenger to All Humanity, first published in 1983, echoes this theme and still affirms that message, a call to both Christians and Jews to face the tragedy of the Holocaust and begin again.

Industry Reviews

"[A]n insightful and often impassioned account of Elie Wiesel's themes, preoccupations and development. . . .Traces his moral and spiritual journey as it is reflected through his work and his biography." -The New York Times


"Brown, a Protestant theologian, ecumenical, versatile, and sympathetic, approaches his subject well aware of the paradoxes and impossibilities involved: the inadequacy of language to convey the experience and the impossibility of remaining silent about it; the persistence of hope and faith in defiance of reason and experience; the meaning of madness and laughter." -Choice


"Brown's excellent concept of story... adds to his analytical understanding of what Wiesel means. His new book about Wiesel is a treasure." -National Catholic Reporter


"Professor of Theoloy and Ethics at the Pacific School of Religion and Protestant member of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, Robert McAfee Brown uses his excellent literary and theological skills to lead the reader on a series of challenging journeys through and beyond the complex world of Wiesel." -Theology Today


"...Brown asserts the centrality of the Holocaust to any modern theology. No theology that ignores Auschwitz is relevant. What kind of God is it Who could allow such events to occur? How can we conceive of a God Who permits the burning of children? Especially in the second half of his book, we see that Brown and Wiesel are engaged in a similar struggle, to maintain belief while eschewing comfortable pieties and confronting the worst horrors of our time." -American Jewish History
