Moses Mendelssohn: Writings on Judaism, Christianity, and the Bible (Brandeis Library of Modern Jewish Thought)

German Jewish philosopher Moses Mendelssohn (1729â€“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 Gottliebâ€™s volume seeks to expand knowledge of Mendelssohnâ€™s 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 These writings include essays, commentaries, unpublished reflections, and personal letters.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 Mendelssohnâ€™s life, all of which involved polemical encounters with Christian thinkers. Part Two presents selections from Mendelssohnâ€™s writings on the Bible. Part Three offers texts that illuminate Mendelssohnâ€™s thoughts on a diverse range of religious topics, including Godâ€™s existence, the immortality of the soul, and miracles. Designed for class adoption, the volume contains annotations and an introduction by the editor.
