Thinking in Translation posits the Hebrew Bible as the fulcrum of
the thought of Franz Rosenzweig (1886-1929), underpinning a unique
synthesis between systematic thinking and biblical interpretation.
Addressing a lacuna in Rosenzweig scholarship, the book offers a
critical evaluation of his engagement with the Bible through a
comparative study of The Star of Redemption and his Bible
translation with Martin Buber. The book opens with Rosenzweig's
rejection of German Idealism and fascination with the sources of
Judaism. It then analyzes the unique hermeneutic approach he
developed to philosophy and scripture as a symbiosis of critique
and cross-fertilization, facilitated by translation. An analysis of
the Star exposes Rosenzweig's employment of translation in grafting
biblical verses unto the philosophical discussion. It is followed
by a reading that demonstrates how his Bible translation reflects
an attempt to re-valorize the Tanakh as a distinctively Jewish
scripture, over and against Christian appropriations. Thinking in
Translation recasts Rosenzweig's life's work as a project of
melding Judaism and modernity in an attempt to secure their
spiritual and intellectual survival.
