The cataclysm of the Holocaust seems to forbid speech. Yet even in the heart of that darkness, sparks of sacredness were kept alive. From these sparks, Feld suggests, Jews and others can renew a faith and a language that recovers the holy.
The Spirit of Renewal explores four key events that reshaped religious expression: the Babylonian exile; the Bar Kochba revolution; the Holocaust; and the establishment of the State of Israel. It opens the way to a powerful new understanding of the nature of God and the spiritual life.
"Carefully analyzes how the Holocaust differs from previous events in Jewish history....Has forged a new theology of Judaism. Highly recommended." --Library Journal
"A profound meditation on Jewish history [and the Holocaust]....Christians, as well as many others, need to share in this story." -- The Rt. Rev. Frederick H. Borsch, Ph.D., Episcopal Bishop of L.A.
