Defending the Faith: Nineteenth-Century American Jewish Writing on Christianity and JesusSUNY Press, 1 янв. 1989 г. - Всего страниц: 207 America provided the Jews with a new kind of historical experience. Within a largely welcoming, legally equal society, a new and more positive Jewish perception of Christianity would seem to have been a natural development. However, traditionalists, such as Isaac Leeser, emphasized the differences between the two religions, assuming an outsider stance with regard to American culture. In contrast, Reformists identified the highest ideals of both Christianity and America with Judaism. They portrayed Jesus as a Jew who taught nothing contrasting Jewish belief. To the Reformers, Jews were the Americans par excellence. This book demonstrates that these Jewish writings on Christianity and Jesus are not a matter of interest so much for their theological content, but more importantly, for their exposition of the struggle within the Jewish community to define its relationship to American culture and society. |
