Tracing its history from Moses Mendelssohn to today, Alan Levenson
explores the factors that shaped what is the modern Jewish Bible
and its centrality in Jewish life today. The Making of the Modern
Jewish Bible explains how Jewish translators, commentators, and
scholars made the Bible a keystone of Jewish life in Germany,
Israel and America. Levenson argues that German Jews created a
religious Bible, Israeli Jews a national Bible, and American Jews
an ethnic one. In each site, scholars wrestled with the demands of
the non-Jewish environment and their own indigenous traditions,
trying to balance fidelity and independence from the commentaries
of the rabbinic and medieval world.
