These works--most translated for the first time into English by top scholars in modern Jewish history and philosophy--reveal how modern Jewish theology developed in concert with broader trends in Jewish intellectual and social modernization, especially scholarship (\u003ci\u003eWissenschaft des Judentums\u003c\/i\u003e), politics (liberalism and Zionism), and religious practice (movement Judaism and the struggles to transcend denominational boundaries). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This anthology thus opens to the English-language reader a true treasure house of source material from the formative years of modern Jewish thought, bringing together writings from the very first generations, who imagined biblical and rabbinic texts and modern scientific research would produce a synthetic view of God, Israel, and the world. A general introduction and chapter introductions guide students and nonspecialists through the key themes and transformations in modern Jewish theology, and extensive annotations immerse them in the latest scholarship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSamuel J.
