"It delivers exactly what it promises—an introduction to a mature study of Jewish thought from the expulsion from Spain in 1492 up to the 1980s. The thought of major thinkers is presented clearly in its historical context. There are a number of good insights and stimulating questions. This book could become the standard text for courses in modern Jewish thought." — Kenneth Seeskin, Northwestern University
