Moses Mendelssohn: Writings on Judaism, Christianity, and the Bible by Moses Mendelssohn
Requirements: ePUB or AZW3 Reader, 1.2MB
Overview: German Jewish philosopher Moses Mendelssohn (1729-1786) is best known in the English-speaking world for his Jerusalem (1783), the first attempt to present Judaism as a religion compatible with the ideas of the Enlightenment. While incorporating much of Jerusalem, Michah Gottliebs volume seeks to expand knowledge of Mendelssohns thought by presenting translations of many of his other seminal writings from the German or Hebrew originals. These writings include essays, commentaries, unpublished reflections, and personal letters.
Part One includes selections from the three major controversies of Mendelssohns life, all of which involved polemical encounters with Christian thinkers. Part Two presents selections from Mendelssohns writings on the Bible. Part Three offers texts that illuminate Mendelssohns thoughts on a diverse range of religious topics, including Gods existence, the immortality of the soul, and miracles. Designed for class adoption, the volume contains annotations and an introduction by the editor.
