Less known, but equally significant, however, was the intellectual engine that drove this academic pursuit: the Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaft des Judentums. Throughout its 36 years (1902-38) the Society for the Advancement of the Science of Judaism not only supported numerous ground-breaking projects and publications but also had a lasting impact on the study of Jewish thought and culture in academic institutions around the world - up to the present day. Henry C. Soussan places the organization in its historical context and retraces the social and ideological impulses leading to its creation, thereby making an invaluable contribution to the field. 606 $aHistory / World$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory / Ancient$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory / Essays$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory 615 7$aHistory / World 615 7$aHistory / Ancient 615 7$aHistory / Essays 615 0$aHistory. 700 $aSoussan$b Henry C$01768814 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910888044603321 996 $aThe Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaft des Judentums in Its Historical Context$94233471 997 $aUNINA
