Format: Paperback

Condition: Poor Condition — £70.38
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

The essay "The Holocaust in Jewish Theology" (pp. 139-160; first published in "The Holocaust in History and Today", Yad Vashem Charitable Trust, 1988) examines the main Jewish theological interpretations of the Holocaust: the ultra-Orthodox Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum's explanation of the Holocaust as divine punishment for the "sin" of Zionism; and the Holocaust as a unique event which radically changed the meaning of Jewish existence (Emil Fackenheim, Irving Greenberg). Shares Eliezer Berkovits's interpretation that God leaves the arena of history to human free will; therefore, human beings are responsible for perpetrating evil. God reveals his presence in the survival of Israel.
