Book Description

Publication Date: November 1992 | Series: Sherman Studies of Judaism in Modern Times

This is the book form of a set of Sherman lectures (1990-1991) delivered by the writer for the Department of Comparative Religion at the University of Manchester. They deal with the new context of Jewish life since 1945 and three associated sources of discontent - the ideology of the soil of Israel, the invention of orthodoxy, and the alienation of Jews from their past through the influence of the Shoah. Where these sources of discontent are investigated, the writer also aims to juxtapose positive counter-measures.
