Summary Annotation An anthology of unpublished and published essays and lectures following the trajectory of Leo Strauss's ideas into the heart of modern Jewish thought. The writings span nearly 30 years and contain considerations of Jewish figures such as Baruch Spinoza, Martin Buber, and Sigmund Freud while also analyzing some of the central topics in modern Judaism, including the "theological-political crisis," anti-Semitism, the Holocaust, Zionism, the question of assimilation, and the State of Israel. The collection also contains two sustained interpretations of the Hebrew Bible. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
