Anti-Judaism in Feminist Religious Writings
This work is the first comprehensive study of anti-Judaism in feminist religious writings. Katharina von Kellenbach provides a critical evaluation of how Judaism has been depicted in major American and West German feminist theologies, including the writings of Rosemary Radford Ruether, Carol Christ, and Elisabeth Moltmann-Wendel. Applying Foucault's categories of discursive practice, von Kellenbach demonstrates that feminist theologians portray Judaism negatively in comparison to Christianity and paganism, identify it as the source of patriarchy, and render it invisible as a religious alternative after the rise of Christianity. This book calls on feminist theologians to combat the pervasive tradition of Christian anti-Judaism.
Guilt
"The book investigates the role of guilt in the global discussion over locally specific legacies of mass violence and injustice. Guilt is an indispensable element in human social and emotional life that surfaces as a central phenomenon in the cultural politics of memory, transitional justice, and the aftermath of violence.

Despite the widespread trends of secularization in the 20th century, religion has played an important role in several outbreaks of genocide since the First World War. And yet, not many scholars have looked either at the religious aspects of modern genocide, or at the manner in which religion has taken a position on mass killing. This collection of essays addresses this hiatus by examining the intersection between religion and state-organized murder in the cases of the Armenian, Jewish, Rwandan, and Bosnian genocides. Rather than a comprehensive overview, it offers a series of descrete, yet closely related case studies, that shed light on three fundamental aspects of this issue: the use of religion to legitimize and motivate genocide; the potential of religious faith to encourage physical and spiritual resistance to mass murder; and finally, the role of religion in coming to terms with the legacy of atrocity.
