Mara Benjamin's innovative reading of The Star of Redemption places Rosenzweig's best-known work at the beginning of an intellectual trajectory that culminated in a monumental translation of the Bible, thus overturning fundamental assumptions that have long guided the appraisal of this titan of modern Jewish thought. She argues that Rosenzweig's response to modernity was paradoxical: he challenged his readers to encounter the biblical text as revelation, reinventing scripture - both the Bible itself and the very notion of a scriptural text - in order to invigorate Jewish intellectual and social life, but did so in a distinctly modern key, ultimately reinforcing the foundations of German-Jewish post-Enlightenment liberal thought. Rosenzweig's Bible illuminates the complex interactions that arise when modern readers engage the sacred texts of ancient religious traditions. 606 $aJudaism$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aRevelation$xJudaism 607 $aGermany$xEthnic relations 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory 615 0$aRevelation$xJudaism. 676 $a221.5/31 700 $aBenjamin$b Mara H.$f1972-$0850805 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454245103321 996 $aRosenzweig's Bible$91899704 997 $aUNINA
