"Elie Wiesel's legacy lives on through the writings that inspired John K. Roth to write A Consuming Fire, a book about the challenges posed by the Holocaust to all of us and, in particular, to the contemporary Christian. Through a reading of Wiesel's texts, Roth bears witness both to the horrors of the Holocaust and to the hope that in its aftermath we may better learn to care for the Other

Elie Wiesel, who died in 2016, was one of the relatively few Jews who survived Auschwitz. Before and after receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986, he wrote profoundly in varied genres about the reverberations of the Holocaust. In A Consuming Fire, John K. Roth, a Christian philosopher transformed by Wiesel's writings and friendship, explores how to cope constructively with the daunting realization that Christianity and Western philosophy were deeply implicated in the Nazi genocide-so much so that, in the case of Christianity, one can credibly argue: No Christianity No Holocaust

"At his encouragement, I tried to write a book that is less about him and more about life as I have found it thus far. I have produced neither a biography, a literary analysis, nor even a philosophical critique of his writings, anymore than I have written a history of Holocaust events. Instead I wanted to see what would result by weaving two strands together: my own Christian experience and my reading of the Holocaust via his books. This writer (Wiesel) has changed my life, and my utmost thanks for his friendship must be that I try always to make that change a blessing. Thus, the outcome of my reflection is shared in the hope that it may assist others to venture in similar ways and to find new determination to thwart absurdity and indifference." -- John K. Roth, from Preface
