Singularly free of the technical terminology of specialists in the history of ideas, the book reveals the inner tensions in Judaism, and uncovers the roots of contemporary disputes in the ideological discussions of ancient and medieval times. Almost every theme in this volume, taken from whatever period, is pertinent to contemporary issues. The role of Judaism within the advancing stream of Western culture is discerned and discussed as is the relationship of Judaism to Christianity in ancient times and in the framework of the current day. As Dr. Agus says in his Preface: "Anyone who sets out to achieve a comprehensive philosophy of life will sooner or later encounter the theme of this book . Jew or Christian, rationalist or romantic, liberal or socialist, nationalist or internationalist, a citizen of the West can hardly understand the roots of his own mentality without taking into account the fascinating spiritual odyssey of the Jews . "Judaism may well be regarded as the spiritual 'heartland' of Western man. It has been loved and appreciated or maligned and hated, but it could never be ignored by the master builders of our culture." The almost oriental tapestry of Judaism in nearly every age is revealed in the diversity of its thought and sentiments and the comparative unity of its laws and customs. Both the unifying bedrock of tradition and the diverse currents flowing through it are considered and exposed to view. This volume in the philosophy of religion is designed for advanced students of Judaism or of general thought, for college and university use, as well as for adult study groups. It is a volume for those of all religions who wish to know more about the great seminal faith of Judaism. Though no one can write of Jewish thought with absolute detachment, a high degree of objectivity is in itself an expression of the inner impetus of philosophical currents in Judaism. And it is the author's belief that the greatest contribution of Judaism may well be its insistence that the divine will can only be illuminated by the divine light within the human soul: the double light of intelligence and conscience.
