This anthology has the potential to help reframe the entire field of modern Jewish thought. Its study tends to leave out the nineteenth century almost totally-and yet, as the editors show, this was an extremely important period for the development of Jewish thought and the attempt to negotiate modern sensibilities about religion and science. Additionally, because many of the nineteenth-century figures were at the intersection of Wissenschaft and philosophy, attending to them can better integrate modern Jewish thought into Jewish studies as a whole.”-Robert Erlewine, professor and director of the Center for Jewish Studies at Eastern Michigan University and author of \u003ci\u003eJudaism and the West: From Hermann Cohen to Joseph Soloveitchik\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e“What a gold mine!

These works-most translated for the first time into English by top scholars in modern Jewish history and philosophy-reveal how modern Jewish theology developed in concert with broader trends in Jewish intellectual and social modernization, especially scholarship (\u003ci\u003eWissenschaft des Judentums\u003c\/i\u003e), politics (liberalism and Zionism), and religious practice (movement Judaism and the struggles to transcend denominational boundaries).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This anthology thus opens to the English-language reader a true treasure house of source material from the formative years of modern Jewish thought, bringing together writings from the very first generations, who imagined biblical and rabbinic texts and modern scientific research would produce a synthetic view of God, Israel, and the world. A general introduction and chapter introductions guide students and nonspecialists through the key themes and transformations in modern Jewish theology, and extensive annotations immerse them in the latest scholarship.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Introduction    \u003cbr\u003e Notes on Translations and Annotations\u003cbr\u003e List of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Part 1.
