Reviews
'A fascinating and penetrating study on Edith Stein, a Catholic Jewish Carmelite nun, and Regina Jonas, woman rabbi. Both were executed by the Nazis in Auschwitz, though two years apart. Silverman's analysis offers creative insights into religious, gendered, and mixed identities. She explores their desires and visions; she reflects on their crossing of boundaries; and she offers a theology of liberation of resistance. A remarkable study that breaks out of traditional modes of approach and offers new insights.' - Francis Schussler Fiorenza, Harvard Divinity School, USA
'An innovative reading of the lives and thought of Edith Stein and Regina Jonas - a significant and highly readable contribution to both queer theology and studies of the Holocaust.' - Melissa Raphael, University of Gloucestershire, UK
