Editorial Reviews

Review

Choices In Modern Jewish Thought: A Partisan Guide re-examines major Jewish thinkers of the 20th century. Choices In Modern Jewish Thought celebrates the achievement of those who addressed the unprecedented challenge to Jewish faith presented by modernity. By studying the ideas of the great modern Jewish philosophers, Eugene Borowitz allows the reader to achieve a richer and more finely honed understanding of post-modern Judaism, and the spiritual needs of modern-day Jews. Chapters include mysticism, post-modernism, and Jewish feminist theology. The work of Hermann Cohen, Leo Baeck, Mordecai Kaplan, Franz Rosenzweig, Martin Buber, Abraham Heschel, and Joseph B. Solovetchik are examined. The subjects of modernities' challenges, Zionism, the Holocaust, and issues of personal autonomy are surveyed as well. --Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Variety And Interesting...Buy This!, June 9, 2009
This review is from: Choices in Modern Jewish Thought: A Partisan Guide (Paperback)
This book is fantastic. It could not be described as liberal nor "orthodox". It is a great survey of Modern Jewish Thought and Philosophy and is definitely worth reading.
