Description
Progressive Judaism is the radical expression of modern Jewish thought and belief. It is respectful of Jewish history and tradition, but recognizes and welcomes the challenge of fashioning a Judaism that is relevant today. In this series, Progressive Jewish thinkers respond to contemporary issues that affect not only Judaism but all religions as we prepare to enter the twenty-first century. This is the first of two volumes of edited sermons spanning the greater part of the second half of the twentieth century, and the first major collection of sermons from a Liberal Jewish point of view produced in Britain since Claude G. Montefiore's Truth in Religion of 1906. It combines forthrightly radical thinking with spirituality, love of Jewish tradition, and an abundance of carefully documented quotations from classical Jewish sources. This combination yields many fresh insights into the interpretation of Scripture, as examined in Part I, and the significance of the Jewish festivals dealt with in Part II, and brings out the relevance of both to present-day intellectual and social issues. Both Parts will be found to contain many original ideas, novel formulations, and occasional touches of humour.
