"Shaped by different traditions but shattered by the very same event—the Shoah—in Fire and the Ashes scholars and ministers, philosphers and rabbis have confronted the philosophical implications of the Holocaust with a seriousness that is meritorious and with a friendship fused by years of dialogue and confrontation. The results are impressive; dramatic proof of what is right about civility in contemporary rligious life—the type of civility that does not mask differences but allows them to be raised and understood with respect and even sympathy."
