JWST 253 - God and Holocaust in Jewish Theology

First Semester.  Had Judaism believed in a Satan who solely authored its predicaments, the Holocaust would undeniably constitute his masterpiece. Jewish Monotheism, however, overrules any demonic governance by strictly professing God’s absolute dominion – a theological premise which left many confounded in wake of this unprecedented calamity. This course critically examines such perplexities and the theological routes taken toward their resolution by survivors and thinkers who sought a clear vision of divinity through the smoking speculum called ‘Shoah’.  Identical to RELG 253.
