Summary "Abraham Geiger's Liberal Judaism explores how religious authority and personal meaning interweave to produce a liberal mosaic of Jewish practice in Geiger's religious works. Discussing Geiger's views of history, memory, text, education, ritual, gender, and the rabbinate in nineteenth-century German Jewry, Koltun-Fromm uncovers Geiger's appeal to personal meaning to create religious authority for modern Jews. This is essential reading for scholars, rabbis, rabbinic students, and informed Jewish readers interested in Conservative and Reform Judaism."--Jacket
