On the Holocaust
by Elie Wiesel
Publisher comments from Powells.com:
"Night — A terrifying account of the Nazi death camp horror that turns a young Jewish boy into an agonized witness to the death of his family...the death of his innocence...and the death of his God. Penetrating and powerful, as personal as The Diary Of Anne Frank, Night awakens the shocking memory of evil at its absolute and carries with it the unforgettable message that this horror must never be allowed to happen again."
In Liberation Theology
by Jon Sobrino
Publishers comments from Powells.com:
"This work is a presentation of the truth of Jesus Christ from the viewpoint of liberation - from Jesus's options for the poor, his confrontation with the powerful and the persecution and death this brought him. Building and expanding on his previous works, Jon Sobrino develops a Christology that shows how to meet the mystery of God, all God "Father" and call this Jesus "the Christ"."
In Black Theology
by James H. Cone
Publishers comments from Powells.com:
"In his reflections on God, Jesus, suffering, and liberation, James H. Cone relates the gospel message to the experience of the black community. But a wider theme of the book is the role that social and historical context plays in framing the questions we address to God as well as the mode of the answers provided."
In Womanist Theology
by Delores S. Williams
Description from AfricanMarket.com:
"Exploring all the themes inherent in Hagar's story - poverty and slavery, ethnicity and sexual exploitation, exile and encounters with God - Sisters in the Wilderness traces parallels in the history of African-American women from slavery to the present. A particular theology - a womanist theology - emerges from this shared experience; specifically, from the interplay of oppressions on account of race, sex, and class."
On Luke
by Brendan Byrne, SJ
From the back cover:
"This work provides a to-the-point commentary on Luke's Gospel, with emphasis on the 'hospitality of God' events, where 'the gospel's essential purpose is to bring home to people a sense of the extravagance of God's love in their regard.'"
by Willi Braun
Publishers comments from Powells.com:
"... Willi Braun draws both on social and literary evidence regarding the Greco-Roman elite banquet scene and on ancient prescribed methods of rhetorical composition to argue that the Pharisaic dinner episode in Luke 14 is a skillfully crafted rhetorical unit in which Jesus presents an argument for Luke's vision of a Christian society."
