Yehezkel Kaufmann and the Reinvention of Jewish Biblical Scholarship
Edited by Job Y. Jindo Edited by Benjamin Sommer Edited by Thomas Staubli
The biblical scholar, historian, and Jewish thinker Yehezkel Kaufmann (1889-1963) is best known for two magisterial works: a two-volume interpretation of Jewish history and a four-volume study of biblical religion. Toledot in particular is the most monumental achievement of modern Jewish biblical scholarship. No other figure, not even Martin Buber, has had such a profound influence on the work of Jewish scholars of the Bible. The volume provides a comprehensive and multifaceted account of Kaufmanns work, through which Anglophone readers, students and scholars alike, can explore the hitherto unrecognized significance and profundity of Kaufmanns legacy.
