{"product_id":"9780334029489","title":"Scm Reader Reform Judaism And Modernity","description":"\u003cbr\u003eDesigned specifically with students in mind, the text contains pedagogical features and referencing to assist the reader. Never before published critical Jewish writings included with the additional benefit of contextualisation and commentary from a leading authority in the field. The themes are traced through the writings of prominent Reform rabbis from 1840 till today as they wrestle with major questions of faith and modernity. 'Jonathan Romain celebrates difference with clarity, conviction and understanding. It is an instructive voyage of religious discovery' - from the Preface by Sir Martin Gilbert Reform. Judaism is one of the most dynamic forces in the Jewish world. It dominates American Jewry, is bridging gaps in secular Jewish communities in Israel and occupies a leading place in the religious life of Britain today. It is instrumental in the rejuvenation of Jews within the former Soviet Union and in Europe it has helped to rekindle the embers of Jewish communities devastated by the Holocaust. And yet books offering access to Reform Judaism material and original sources are distinctly rare. Reform Judaism and Modernity: A Reader therefore is a unique opportunity for students of Reform Judaism, and those with a general interest in Judaism, to enjoy fully the wide range of writings that are here presented as the essence of Reform Judaism.\u003cp\u003ePreface by Sir Martin Gilbert Introduction Historical Overview Notes on the Text Acknowledgements \u003cbr\u003e1 Afterlife \u003cbr\u003e2 Animals (and the Environment) \u003cbr\u003e3 Anti-semitism \u003cbr\u003e4 Bible \u003cbr\u003e5 Business Ethics \u003cbr\u003e6 Charity \u003cbr\u003e7 Christianity \u003cbr\u003e8 Commandment and Jewish Law \u003cbr\u003e9 Conversion \u003cbr\u003e10 Dialogue (Inter-faith) \u003cbr\u003e11 Ethical Life \u003cbr\u003e12 Evil and Sin \u003cbr\u003e13 God \u003cbr\u003e14 Holocaust \u003cbr\u003e15 Individuals \u003cbr\u003e16 Israel \u003cbr\u003e17 Judaism \u003cbr\u003e18 Messiah \u003cbr\u003e19 Mission \u003cbr\u003e20 Peace \u003cbr\u003e21 Reform Judaism \u003cbr\u003e22 Social Action \u003cbr\u003e23 Jews in Society \u003cbr\u003e24 Suffering \u003cbr\u003e25 Women \u003cbr\u003e26 Worship Biographical Notes Glossary Bibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author: Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain is a writer and broadcaster and serves as minister of the Maidenhead Synagogue in Berkshire.
