THE COVENANT CONCEPT - PARTICULARISTIC, PLURALISTIC, OR FUTURISTIC? -- $tBIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE WORKS OF JACOB B. AGUS 330 $aRabbi Jacob Agus' (1911-1986) intellectual production spanned nearly a half century and covered an enormous historical and conceptual range, from the biblical to the modern era. Best known as an important Jewish scholar, he also held important rabbinic, teaching, and public positions. Although born and raised within an orthodox setting, Agus was strongly influenced by American liberalism and his work displayed modernizing sympathies, reservations about nationalism--including some forms of Zionism--and often severe criticisms of kabbalah. Agus crafted a unique, quite American, modernizing vision that ardently sought to remain in touch with the wellsprings of the rabbinic tradition while remaining open to the intellectual and moral currents of his own time.The Essential Agus brings together a sampling of Agus' most important published and unpublished material in one easily accessible volume. It will be an invaluable resource for students and researchers seeking to experience Agus' intellectual legacy. 606 $aJewish philosophy 606 $aJudaism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJewish philosophy. 615 0$aJudaism. 676 $a296.3 700 $aKatz$b Steven T., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0153897 701 $aKatz$b Steven T.$f1944-$0153897 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996588058003316 996 $aThe Essential Agus$92804495 997 $aUNISA
