In his new work, Ken Koltun-Fromm argues that for Geiger personal meaning in religion -- rather than rote ritual practice or acceptance of dogma -- was the key to religion's moral authority. In five chapters, the book explores issues central to Geiger's work that speak to contemporary Jewish practice -- historical memory, biblical interpretation, ritual and gJewish literature and culture.Reform JudaismAuthorityReligious aspectsJudaismMeaning (Philosophy)Religious aspectsJudaismElectronic books.Reform Judaism.AuthorityReligious aspectsJudaism.Meaning (Philosophy)Religious aspectsJudaism.296.8/341092Koltun-Fromm Ken867437MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457732103321Abraham Geiger's liberal Judaism2026559UNINA
