Jüdische existenz in der Moderne

Description:

"In this book, internationally renowned historians reconstruct the biography and intellectual development of the rabbi and historian Abraham Geiger (1810-1874). The focus is on Geiger's intellectual defense of Judaism's right to exist, his efforts for a modernizing reform of the Jewish communities as well as his interpretation of the relationship of Judaism to Christianity and Islam, which is also important for the current interreligious dialogue."--Publisher's website.
