Book excerpt: Marvin Sweeney finds Holocaust theology an indispensable resource as he examines often ignored biblical texts where ancient Israel contemplated apparent divine absence and "divine evil." In the stories of Abraham, Moses, Esther, Job, kings, prophets, and others, Sweeney discerns the insight "that human beings cannot always depend upon God to act to ensure righteousness in the world." The insistence by Holocaust theologians that human beings are responsible for doing justice in the world is powerfully present already in the Bible itself. Book jacket.
