"American Rabbi" provides a comprehensive and insightful
assessment of Rabbi Jacob Agus' standing as a notable Jewish
thinker. The volume brings together original writings by a range of
distinguished contributors to consider the main aspects of Agus'
life and work in detail and to flesh out the broad and repercussive
themes of his corpus. Taken as a whole, they present a broad and
substantial picture of a remarkable American Rabbi and scholar,
illuminating Agus' committment to Jewish people everywhere, his
profound and unwavering spirituality, his continual reminders of
the very real dangers of pseudo-messianism and misplaced romantic
zeal, and his willingness to take politically and religiously
unpopular stands.
Formulated as a companion volume to "The Essential Agus, " which
presents selections of Agus' own writings, the contributors'
analyses are based on specific selections of Agus' work which
appear in "The Essential Agus." Though each volume stands on its
own, they are closely interconnected and readers will benefit from
consulting both works.
