"The Female Face of God in Auschwitz" explores feminist theology of the Holocaust, highlighting women's unique experiences and perceptions of God in Auschwitz. Through testimonies of four women, it challenges traditional post-Holocaust theology, advocating for a nuanced understanding of God's presence amidst suffering and grace.
In this book, Jewish, Muslim and Christian scholars explore the question: what can it mean to love Planet Earth? Many people will profess casually that 'I love nature', but can that love make an actual impact on the life of our distressed and ravaged world? The writers consider how love might be, not just an emotional extravangance, but a practical response to the ecological crisis into which the human and non-human world is plunged at the present time. Correspondingly, they enquire whether this love can be reciprocated by non-human forms of life and even by apparently inanimate objects. As believers from three main Abrahamic faiths they ask how this love for nature connects both with the act of loving God and with receiving the love that God bestows on all creation. Thus they dare to maintain that love of God can be a practical response to environmental emergency.
