内容説明
As anti-semitism finds new followers and Israel makes peace with old enemies, Jews in the modern world face constantly metamorphosizing relationships. From the eighteenth century to the present, unprecedented opportunities have grown up alongside new challenges for the Jewish people. While modern society is permitting Judaism a place, profound questions over Jewish identity are taking shape.
The essays gathered in Judaism in the Modern World address the issue of Jewish persistence amidst changing forms of identity. Exploring a wide range of sources, the essayists examine historical issues, the Holocaust and its repercussions, literature, and theological dimensions while seeking the nature of Judaism in modern times. As they reassess Judaism's past while pursuing a meaningful Jewish future, these essays raise crucial questions about the tradition's central mythic structures, such as covenant and redemption.
The contributors to this volume broach everything from feminism to the creation of the state of Israel. Sander Gilman illustrates how Jewish identity is inextricably linked to the physical, showing how racial identity both reflects and defines Jewishness. Raul Hilberg examines Holocaust remembrance, in the wake of Holocaust denial, as an act of revolt. A wide-ranging and thoughtful collection, Judaism in the Modern World will appeal to readers concerned with the fate of Judaism in the modern era.

内容説明
In the history of Judaism, no cultural contact has resulted in such sweeping changes as the tradition's encounter with modernity. Beginning in the late 18th century, political, religious and social emancipation opened the door to both undreamt opportunity and cataclysmic disaster. At the same time, this cultural upheaval raised fundamental questions concerning the validity of the Jewish covenant and the meaning of Jewish identity. The chapters share an overarching concern with the issue of Jewish persistence amidst changing forms of identity in the modern world. Taken together, they may be read as reflecting four central concerns of Judaism in the modern world: historical reflections, which treat a variety of cultural and historiographical issues in observing the Jewish presence in modernity; the holocaust and its aftermath; literature, its content, meaning and task; and the theological dimensions of Judaism. When viewed through the prisms of these concerns, Judaism emerges as a tradition in search of a useable past - even in the face of radical discontinuity - in order to live in the present while planning for the future.
