Abstract:
Contends that it is wrong to teach Holocaust studies with a strictly Jewish focus, and that intellectually responsible Holocaust studies should be interfaith, international, and interdisciplinary. The Holocaust effects the life and liberty of every free citizen. States that there arose a credibility crisis in Christianity in post-Auschwitz times, as well as a credibility crisis for the modern university and for theories of democracy. Raises questions which need to be addressed to Christians, to academics, and to citizens of free societies. Stresses that the study and articulation of lessons of the Holocaust must avoid premature closure.
