Introducing black and Jewish responses to experiences of moral evil and suffering -- What does the Christian gospel have to do with the black power movement? : James Cone's God of the oppressed-- Why divine goodness or power? why God? why liberation? : critiques and affirmations of James Cone-- A new Sinai? a new Exodus? : divine presence during and after the Holocaust in the theology of Emil Fackenheim -- After the Holocaust--the destruction of the God of history, of chosenness, and ofpatriarchy : critiques and affirmations of Emil Fackenheim -- A consideration of humanocentric theism,resistance, and redemption.

This book is a consideration of major contemporary African American and Jewish theological understandings of God, human nature, moral evil,suffering, and ethics, utilizing the work of James Cone and Emil Fackenheim. Specifically, it examines how profound faith in a just God is sustained, and even strengthened, in the face of particularly horrific and long-standing evil and suffering in a community. The constructive portion of the book explores theological possibilities by focusing on the concepts of human freedom, resistance, and responsibility--all groundedin divine gift--as an effective and meaningful response to oppression and despair.
