[nb-NO]Description[nb-NO]
The author, a Christian, contemplates the theological significance of Hiroshima and the Holocaust, agonising over an appropriate response. The role of traditional Christian beliefs and attitudes in preparing the ground for the Holocaust is acknowledged. Is God essentially an interventionist or do earthly events result from God's intention? The writings of Elie Wiesel and others are cited as aids in helping us make judgments in this difficult area.
