Mordecai M. Kaplan, a pioneering figure in the reinterpretation and
redefinition of Judaism in the 20th century, embraced religious
liberalism, naturalism, and empiricism, and gave expression to a
unique American attitude in philosophy and theology. This volume,
the first comprehensive treatment of Kaplan since his death in 1983
. . . illustrates Kaplan's links to traditional Jewish roots and
demonstrates his evolutionary philosophy of Jewish culture, his
Zionist orientation, and the vast range of his thought and action.
The volume also features a complete bibliography of Kaplan's
writings.
