Describing the developments in science and philosophy in the sacred language of Hebrew, the author argued that an intellectual understanding of the cosmos was not at odds with but actually key to achieving spiritual attainment.

Trade Review

"Brings a new perspective to considering the dimensions of Jewish modernity from the history of the book. . . . [Ruderman’s] exploration of book marketing as a markedly modern exercise should invite future scholars to conduct comparative research on the role of literary bestsellers in the shaping of modern Judaism."

* Journal of Jewish Studies *

"Brings us one step closer to a revision of modern Jewish intellectual history, providing us with a window into the myriad ways in which Jewish thought was transformed in modern Western life."
