内容説明

This text provides an introduction to Judaism in the 19th and 20th centuries for all students of Judaism and world religions, and covers major movements that have developed. Each chapter features an introduction to its subject, accompanied by a reading by a spokesperson of its viewpoint. Illustrating the story of religious life in modern times, modern Judaism since the 19th century has had to answer two urgent questions: how should Jews live among gentiles? And, is it possible to live among gentiles? By choice Jews had for centuries lived segregated lives, but in modern times many wished to integrate themselves into the politics and culture of the countries where they lived and at the same time to retain their enduring faith. This book provides an introduction to six integrationist Judaisms - religious systems that appeal to Scripture and set forth a way of life, world view and definition of who and what is "Israel". The three 19th-century Judaisms - Reform, which in turn provoked the development of integrationist Orthodoxy as well as the mediating Conservative Judaism - dealt with the issue of how Jews could live by their faith but also within their national community, whether in Europe or the USA. The three 20th-century Judaisms treated here - Zionism, Jewish Socialism and Yiddishism, and the American Judaism of Holocaust and Redemption - responded to the crisis of political and racial anti-Semitism with messages on how and where and under what conditions in the social order Jews can live at all. The book concludes with an examination of what we can learn about religious experience in general from the case of Judaism.
