These religious thinkers of the nineteenth century struggled with challenges of the modern age that continue to confront the modern Jews to this day. This objective work of scholarship, neither simplistic and isolationist nor destructive and arrogant, will be of interest to the modern thinker and to scholars of the history of religions. It is relevant to comparative study between Judaism and the various denominations of Christianity and other faiths that seek to find a middle way between their traditions and modernity Analysis Comparative Religion Jewish ethics Jewish philosophy Judaism Religious thought Notes Print version record Subject Chajes, Ẓevi Hirsch, 1805-1855.
