Faith and Reason (Classic Reprint): An Introduction to Modern Jewish Thought: An Introduction to Modern Jewish Thought (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
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.

Excerpt from Faith and Reason: An Introduction to Modern Jewish Thought
However, it wants to do more than tell the story of their lives. Their ideas and experiences may help us discover what faith itself means. Men who have spoken in and to our own age can probably give us a deeper insight into the nature and meaning of faith than men of earlier centuries; and after we have listened to the language of faith in our time we may be in a better position to understand the classical documents of faith as well. A Modern man finds it difficult, to understand what faith is; he finds it even more difficult to have faith. Faith requires the ability to listen. It is for this reason that the watch - word of Judaism opens with the word shema Hear. Modern man, however, rarely pauses to listen. He is rarely alone. He is busy surrounded by crowds, engulfed by noise, submerged_ in his work or strenuously absorbed in leisure-time activities. He lacks the peace in which alone the still small voice of faith can speak.

Excerpt from Faith and Reason: An Introduction to Modern Jewish Thought
The manuscript of this book grew out of a series of Lectures which Dr. Samuel Hugo Bergman delivered in Europe several years ago. The selection of the personalities who were included in the series was influenced by autobiographical considerations: the author wanted to deal primarily with those thinkers who had been his "teachers" - who had influenced the development of his Jewish thinking decisively or enriched his understanding of the problems of faith and reason.
For this reason, Dr. Bergman does not present a complete study of each thinker's total system but concentrates on an analysis of the two major issues which he considers of paramount importance for the Jew in our time: How does the thinker resolve the tension between faith and reason, and how does he answer the question whether there still is a distinctively or uniquely Jewish way to God? Dr. Bergman's analysis makes a significant contribution to an understanding of what faith itself means, and it is published by the B'nai B'rith Hillcl Foundations as a resource for reading, study and discussion among thoughtful "students" of all ages because we share Dr. Bergman's conviction that "men who have spoken in and to our age can probably give us a deeper insight.... than men of earlier centuries into the nature and meaning of faith" and its relevance for the modern Jew.
