In Jewish Scholarship and Culture in the Nineteenth Century, Nils Roemer challenges this assumption, finding that religious sentiments, concepts, and rhetoric found expression through a newly emerging theological historicism at the center of modern German Jewish culture. Modern German Jewish identity developed during the struggle for emancipation, debates about religious and cultural renewal, and battles against anti-Semitism. A key component of this identity was historical memory, which Jewish scholars had begun to infuse with theological perspectives beginning in the 1850s. After German reunification in the early 1870s, Jewish intellectuals reevaluated their enthusiastic embrace of liberalism and secularism. Without abandoning the ideal of tolerance, they asserted a right to cultural religious difference for themselves--an ideal they held to even more tightly in the face of growing anti-Semitism. This newly re-theologized Jewish history, Roemer argues, helped German Jews fend off anti-Semitic attacks by strengthening their own sense of their culture and tradition. 410 0$aStudies in German Jewish cultural history and literature. 606 $aJews$zGermany$xIntellectual life$y19th century 606 $aJews$zGermany$xIdentity 606 $aJews$zGermany$xHistoriography 606 $aJewish learning and scholarship$zGermany$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aJudaism$zGermany$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aJews$xIntellectual life 615 0$aJews$xIdentity. 615 0$aJews$xHistoriography. 615 0$aJewish learning and scholarship$xHistory 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory 676 $a907/.2/023924043 700 $aRoemer$b Nils H$0875393 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958262903321 996 $aJewish scholarship and culture in nineteenth-century Germany$92009995 997 $aUNINA
