Synopsis

Explore how 20th-century Jewish thinkers reconciled doubt, devotion, and suffering in modern Judaism.

In this study of faith and reason, Bergman examines how leading Jewish thinkers wrestled with evil, doubt, and the call to faith. It centers on Judah Magnes and his turn from despair to a renewed sense of God, community, and purpose during a time of war and catastrophe. The text traces Hasidic ideas that shaped one’s relation to God and shows how faith can emerge from struggle rather than flourish in easy optimism.

  • See how Magnes faced the reality of suffering and found a form of faith that joins acceptance with action.
  • Learn about the I-Thou relationship and how personal encounters with others, nature, and even the divine can awaken genuine faith.
  • Understand Hasidic ideas about sparks of the divine in all life and the work of teshuvah (return) to God.
  • Discover why faith, for these thinkers, is a courageous commitment that blends doubt with hope and responsibility.
Ideal for readers of philosophy, religious studies, and Jewish history seeking a clear, accessible look at modern Jewish thought and its stance on suffering, doubt, and faith.
