James Bernauer undertakes a self-examination as a member of the Jesuit order and writes this story in the hopes that it will contribute to interreligious reconciliation. \u003cem\u003eJesuit Kaddish\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates the way Jesuit hostility operated, examining Jesuit moral theology's dualistic approach to sexuality and, in the case of Nazi Germany, the articulation of an unholy alliance between a sexualizing and a Judaizing of German culture. Bernauer then identifies an influential group of Jesuits whose thought and action contributed to the developments in Catholic teaching about Judaism that eventually led to the watershed moment of \u003cem\u003eNostra aetate\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBernauer concludes with a proposed statement of repentance from the Jesuits and an appendix presenting the sixteen Jesuits who have been honored as \"Righteous Among the Nations\" by Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust Center. His book represents a crucial contribution to the fields of Catholicism and Nazism, Catholic-Jewish relations, Jesuit history, and the history of anti-Semitism in Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Bernauer Sj\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0268107017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780268107017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Notre Dame Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"James Bernauer Sj","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48871495106815,"sku":"9780268107017","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jesuit-kaddish-james-bernauer-sj-9780268107017","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
