This anthology has the potential to help reframe the entire field of modern Jewish thought. Its study tends to leave out the nineteenth century almost totally—and yet, as the editors show, this was an extremely important period for the development of Jewish thought and the attempt to negotiate modern sensibilities about religion and science. Additionally, because many of the nineteenth-century figures were at the intersection of Wissenschaft and philosophy, attending to them can better integrate modern Jewish thought into Jewish studies as a whole.”—Robert Erlewine, professor and director of the Center for Jewish Studies at Eastern Michigan University and author of \u003ci\u003eJudaism and the West: From Hermann Cohen to Joseph Soloveitchik\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“What a gold mine! You have before you the keys to a world of rich, provocative, and often still startlingly relevant Jewish thinking. There was a robust Jewish theological conversation before Heschel and Soloveitchik, before Kaplan and Levinas, before Plaskow and Adler, but only now, with this wonderful volume, has this vital world opened to non-specialists and non-German readers.”—Shai Held, president and dean of Hadar and author of \u003ci\u003eThe Heart of Torah\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eModern Jewish Theology\u003c\/i\u003e will be an indispensable and enduring resource for scholars, students, and teachers.”—Asher D.
