After JewsEssays on Political Theology, Shoah and the End of Man\nAuthor(s): Piotr Nowak\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Anthem Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Anthem Press\nISBN-13: 9781839996504, 978-1839996504\nSynopsis\nThe basic idea of this book is an attempt to describe and critically interpret the condition of man living in the shadow of the Shoah, in the world after Jews. The author achieves this by referring to the language of political theology, renewing the meaning of such theological concepts as eternity, salvation, the idea of the chosen people, apocalypse, radical hope, and others. He seeks an answer to the question of the conditions for the possibility of the Shoah, all this in order to better understand todays growing aggression against people of strong faith, strong traditional beliefs. Is the disturbing thought of the recurrence of the Shoah, the repetition of the worst scenario that has already happened once in the modern world, an overstated thought, an exaggerate.
