- W317666539 abstract "BOOK REVIEWS 283 nation most directly concerned, and in Maritain, Bernanos, Mauriac, and Mounier it had the most powerful intellectuals who opposed the Nationalists. The dispute there was the same as elsewhere and centered on what one considered the primary cause of the war: the religious question or the social question . Those Catholics abroad who viewed the social question as the most important urged neutrality and in some cases support for the Republic, while those who argued the religious question supported the Nationalists and came to see the war as a crusade against a communist-satanic conspiracy. The authors correctly point out that other countries' reactions cannot be understood without reference to the French reaction; only in Britain and the United States was this not completely the case. There the reaction was a response to Catholic-Protestant tensions. The authors devote substantial space to the British and American reactions, and while they do not present any new facts or interpretations, their assessment and descriptions are sound and complete. Their description of the Italian reaction is the most complete in print. The authors conclude that the impact of the war on the Catholic conscience was bitter and negative in spite of the victory of that side for which most Spanish Catholics fought. Abroad, the war set Catholics back in their attempts to integrate themselves into democratic institutions, and it further embittered Catholic-Protestant relations. There are many excellent observations and insights in this study that unfortunately cannot be mentioned in a brief review. José M. Sanchez Saint Louis University God and Humanity inAuschwitz.Jewish-Christian Relations and Sanctioned Murder. By Donald J. Dietrich. (New Brunswick, New Jersey: Transaction Publishers. 1995. Pp. xii, 355. $34.95.) This scholarly study by Donald J. Dietrich, chairman of the Department of Theology in Boston College, shows the impact of the Holocaust on developments in theology since the end of World War II. The author points to the thesis of Rosemary Ruether (pp. 24-26, 106, 174) that Christianity must get rid of its anti-Semitic theology, flowing from St. John's Gospel, and its consequences so evident in the Holocaust. To this end, it is necessary to get rid of supersessionism in Christian theology so that Christians can engage in constructive dialogue with Jews. Such a position, of course, is quite understandable in this era after the Second Vatican Council. Living today in the global village has made people aware that there are different brands of Christianity. While the core of Christian dogma is the same all over the world, its practices differ from nation to nation because of inculturation . In Christianity's own adjustment to Western society, there arose the prob- 284 BOOK REVIEWS lern that today confronts theologians who are striving to move believers away from the theological and historical anti-Semitism of a past marked by the Holocaust to a level of beliefs and practices shaped more directly by an improved understanding of the Jewishness ofJesus and by a conscientious reflection in society of the dignity of the human person. Though the author does not mention him, St.Vincent of Lérins, writing in the fifth century, focused on the meaning of the development of doctrine when he said (see Cap. 23: PL, 50, 667-668) that it must truly be development of the faith, not alteration of the faith.Actually, Dietrich is very careful to avoid anyalteration of the faith by supporting his own position through a constructive analysis of the contributions coming after the Holocaust from influential Christian theologians like Bernard Lonergan,Johannes Metz, Karl Rahner, and others, in addition to Jewish scholars. Since many contemporary experts in different disciplines have written extensively on issues that relate to his study, Dietrich points the way in this time after Auschwitz to a theology that will improve relations amongJews and Christians and that will never tolerate anything like another Holocaust. He believes that such a goal can be achieved if theologians, in addition to stripping Christology of its anti-Semitism, also eliminate from it the impact of the Enlightenment . In the latter's emphasis on modernity, so evident in its support of racial anti-Semitism, it combined with the religious anti..." @default.
