Should the Holocaust Force Us to Rethink Our View of God and Evil?

Should the Holocaust Force Us to Rethink Our View of God and Evil?

  • Technical
  • John J. Johnson

This article reflects on the impact the Holocaust has had on Jewish-Christian relations. The problem of evil is recognized as an age-old dilemma for biblical theists; it does not take on special meaning in light of the Holocaust. The same issues as are found in the book of Job. The proper response is not a radical rethinking of Christian theology but a humble, biblical acceptance of the limits of human understanding when faced with apparently pointless suffering.

Our Lord has many weak children in his family, many dull pupils in his school, many raw soldiers in his army, many lame sheep in his flock. Yet he bears with them all, and casts none away. Happy is that Christian who has learned to do likewise with his brethren. J. C. Ryle
