Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Silverstein provides an important corrective to the commonplace attitude that Reform was primarily a vehicle for assimilation and loss of Jewish identification. He shows rather that Reform developed along lines parallel to Protestant churches because both religions were subject to parallel trends towards acculturation. By providing alternatives to complete assimilation, this process helped to save Judaism in America. Essential." --Choice
