Kaplan--the sources of his inspiration, the evolution of his thought as a religious ideologue, and his inner struggles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKaplan is perhaps the most important Jewish thinker to appear on the American scene in the last one hundred years. Arriving in the United States as a boy, growing up in New York City, becoming thoroughly Americanized, he struggled to find ways of making Judaism compatible with the American experience and the modern temper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJudaism Faces the Twentieth Century returns to the freshness of Kaplan's earliest formulations and concludes with the publication of Judaism as a Civilization in 1934. Based on a mass of unpublished letters, sermons, and a twenty-seven volume journal, this richly textured biography reappraises Kaplan's significance and offers an original and intimate look at the man, his mind, and his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mel Scult\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814322808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814322802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wayne State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.13w x 1.19d","brand":"Mel Scult","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059836088575,"sku":"9780814322802","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_88f3d9cf-cf47-40d5-b558-64d6baf38c02.jpg?v=1685060604","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/judaism-faces-the-twentieth-century-mel-scult-9780814322802","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
