Sommario/riassunto

Drawing together two critical moments in the history of European Jewry - its entrance as a participant in the Enlightenment project and its involvement in the traumatic upheavals brought on by the Great War - this book offers a reappraisal of the intersection of culture, politics, and theology in the modern world.
