Addressing a lacuna in Rosenzweig scholarship, the book offers a critical evaluation of his engagement with the Bible through a comparative study of \u003cem\u003eThe Star of Redemption\u003c\/em\u003e and his Bible translation with Martin Buber. The book opens with Rosenzweig's rejection of German Idealism and fascination with the sources of Judaism. It then analyzes the unique hermeneutic approach he developed to philosophy and scripture as a symbiosis of critique and cross-fertilization, facilitated by translation. An analysis of the \u003cem\u003eStar\u003c\/em\u003e exposes Rosenzweig's employment of translation in grafting biblical verses unto the philosophical discussion. It is followed by a reading that demonstrates how his Bible translation reflects an attempt to re-valorize the Tanakh as a distinctively Jewish scripture, over and against Christian appropriations. \u003cem\u003eThinking in Translation\u003c\/em\u003e recasts Rosenzweig's life's work as a project of melding Judaism and modernity in an attempt to secure their spiritual and intellectual survival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Orr Scharf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110764156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110764154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.49d","brand":"Orr Scharf","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965354754303,"sku":"9783110764154","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0702487e-fb2d-4f4a-98a8-431ee457aae4.jpg?v=1767280012","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thinking-in-translation-orr-scharf-9783110764154","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
