- Summary
- "The book examines 26 key questions facing not only Jews today but anyone concerned with religious issues and moral dilemmas, from the Afterlife to Business Ethics, from Social Action to Suffering. The themes are traced in chronological development through the writings of prominent rabbis as they wrestle with major questions of faith and modernity. Each passage is preceded by an explanatory note and followed by a comment, allowing the reader to interact with the texts." "Reform Judaism and Modernity: SCM Reader reflects a spiritual journey from the past into the present, which will resonate with all interested in religious debate."--Jacket
