Book excerpt: Explains the Holocaust by invoking the classical theology of the "suffering servant" preached by Isaiah. By way of the Holocaust, the Jewish people had to become a vicarious atonement for the nations in the image of the "suffering servant". This modern crucifixion of the Jewish people was required in order for Judaism to communicate with and effect a change in the character of Christian civilization. The Holocaust marked the end of the medieval epoch, the termination of the era of religious authoritarianism, religious persecution, and theocratic oppression; Nazism was the final manifestation of the medieval worldview. Afterwards, the world moved with finality from medievalism to modernism.
