Reviews
This volume brings together a classical and controversial essay on the Holocaust by the sociologist Jeffrey Alexander with a spectrum of new commentaries by distinguished scholars in the humanities and social sciences...The Holocaust remains the generalized symbol of evil, but it is clear from these essays, Alexander's rejoinder, and ongoing global secular and religious strife that its moral lessons have not been universally absorbed. * Journal of the American Academy of Religion *
