 | The Star of Redemption The Star of Redemption is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding religion and philosophy in the twentieth century. Fusing philosophy and theology, the book assigns both Judaism and Christianity distinct but equally important roles in the spiritual structure of the world. Franz Rosenzweig finds in both biblical religions approaches to a comprehension of reality. Franz Rosenzweig (1886-1929) helped establish Das freie jüdische Lehrhaus (Free House of Jewish Learning) in Frankfurt-am-Main. Rosenzweig is one of the greatest contributors to Jewish philosophy in the twentieth century His German translation, with Martin Buber, of the Bible is considered the finest since Martin Luther's. A reprint of his classic On Jewish Learning is also available from the University of Wisconsin Press. |
