Descripción Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. From the Reform secession of the 1840s and the founding of Liberal Judaism six decades later, to the 'Jacobs Affair' and the rise of Conservative (Masorti) theology towards the end of the twentieth century, the British Chief Rabbinate has faced challenges and controversy on an ever-deepening scale. Using contemporary accounts, broadsides and hitherto unpublished archival material, "Faith Against Reason" is an incisive and indispensable contribution to an understanding of the fissures and fragmentation besetting Anglo-Jewry in modern times. At its core are the mavericks, ministers, grandees and God-fearers who grappled with the currents and complexities of the hour - and with each other - in their pursuit of communal power and pulpit supremacy.The chroniclers of Anglo-Jewry have not always been kind to Britain's Chief Rabbis. In truth, the verdicts have been mixed, and sometimes muted, but, with communal censure and strife continuing unabated, they have become increasingly forthright as the centuries have turned.In "Faith Against Reason", some of these verdicts are subjected to scrutiny; others emerge and, with them, a clearer picture of the Chief Rabbinical stance on religious pluralism. From the Reform secession of the 1840s and the founding of Liberal Judaism, to the 'Jacobs Affair' and the rise of Conservative (Masorti) theology towards the end of the 20th century, the British Chief Rabbinate has faced challenges and controversy. This work contributes to an understanding of the splits and fragmentation besetting Anglo-Jewry.
