When wealthy Jewish industrialist David Friedlander proposed in
1799 that Berlin's Jews undergo a sham conversion to Christianity
in return for full German citizenship, he touched off a political
and theological debate that would continue to define the relation
between Jewish and German identity for more than a century. In the
series of provocative letters collected here, Friedlander,
Protestant leader Wilhelm Abraham Teller, and young Christian
theologian Friedrich Schleiermacher debate Friedlander's radical
proposal. In so doing, they grapple with many of the thorny
problems -- such as citizenship, religious tolerance, and
assimilation -- that continue to vex world political leaders today.
Richard Crouter's Introduction provides the cultural, religious,
and historical context for this compelling exchange; a postscript
by Julie Klassen reveals the ways in which Germany's minorities
continue to be marginalised more than two hundred years after
Friedlander made his passionate appeal for political liberty and
human rights.
