The volume brings together original writings by a range of distinguished contributors to consider the main aspects of Agus' life and work in detail and to flesh out the broad and repercussive themes of his corpus. Taken as a whole, they present a broad and substantial picture of a remarkable American Rabbi and scholar, illuminating Agus' committment to Jewish people everywhere, his profound and unwavering spirituality, his continual reminders of the very real dangers of pseudo-messianism and misplaced romantic zeal, and his willingness to take politically and religiously unpopular stands.\u003cbr\u003e  Formulated as a companion volume to \u003ci\u003eThe Essential Agus,\u003c\/i\u003e which presents selections of Agus' own writings, the contributors' analyses are based on specific selections of Agus' work which appear in \u003ci\u003eThe Essential Agus\u003c\/i\u003e. Though each volume stands on its own, they are closely interconnected and readers will benefit from consulting both works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"NYU Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52563876839704,"sku":"9780814746936","price":64.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/american-rabbi-the-life-and-thought-of-jacob-b-agus-hardback-9780814746936","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
