Book Description

Publication Date: June 1981 | ISBN-10: 0878208003 | ISBN-13: 978-0878208005

Abraham Geiger gave the Reform Movement in Judaism its intellectual stature and theoretical justification. He possessed rabbinic learning, profound interest in problems of theology and philosophy, a gift for exposition, and great earnestness. All these he enlisted in the service of Judaism -- a Judaism transplanted into the climate of nineteenth-century Germany. The reader will find here illustrations of Geiger's vewpoint as he wrote to friends, as he delved into the origins of teh Bible text, as he engaged in religious polemics, and as he addressed his congregation trying to draw them on the principles for which he labored. This English translation of the Geiger excerpts is surprisingly smoot.
