Before they were both internationally renowned philosophers,
Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy and Franz Rosenzweig were young German
soldiers fighting in World War I corresponding by letter and
forming the foundation of their deep intellectual friendship.
Collected here, this correspondence provides an intimate portrait
of their views on history, philosophy, rhetoric, and religion as
well as on their writings and professors. Most centrally,
Rosenstock-Huessy and Rosenzweig discuss, frankly but respectfully,
the differences between Judaism and Chiristianity and the reasons
they have chosen their respective faiths. This edition includes a
new foreword by Paul Mendes-Flohr, a new preface by Harold Stahmer
along with his original introduction, and essays by Dorothy Emmet
and Alexander Altmann, who calls this correspondence "one of the
most important religious documents of our age" and "the most
perfect example of a human approach to the Jewish-Christian
problem."
