For years, Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel has wrestled with his haunting memories of the Holocaust, his work animated by the struggle between silence and revelation. This book focuses on the literary, theological and philosophical issues that emerge from his written work.

A deeply reflective book written by a number of eminent scholars, both Jewish and Christian, who represent a variety of disciplines and perspectives, this book explores basic issues in Wiesel's work-the nature of God, madness, silence, horror, and hope.
