The distinguished contemporary Jewish philosopher, teacher, and editor, Rabbi Eugene B. Borowitz, examines the responses of Jewish thought to the challenge of the modern world. This book celebrates the achievement of the thiinkers who responded to the unprecedented challenge modernity issued to Jewish faith. Large numbers in our community doubt God's existence, are skeptical about the revelation of the Torah, and cannot believe that the Jewish people has a unique role in human history. By studying the ideas of our great modern philosophers, wven when one disagrees with them one is stimulated to think more keenly about one's own Judaism.
