Vladimir Solovyov, one of nineteenth-century Russia's greatest
Christian philosophers, was renowned as the leading defender of
Jewish civil rights in tsarist Russia in the 1880s. The Burning
Bush: Writings on Jews and Judaism presents an annotated
translation of Solovyov's complete oeuvre on the Jewish question,
elucidating his terminology and identifying his references to
persons, places, and texts, especially from biblical and rabbinic
writings. Many texts are provided in English translation by Gregory
Yuri Glazov for the first time, including Solovyov's obituary for
Joseph Rabinovitch, a pioneer of modern Messianic Judaism, and his
letter in the London Times of 1890 advocating for greater Jewish
civil rights in Russia, printed alongside a similar petition by
Cardinal Manning. Glazov's introduction presents a summary of
Solovyov's life, explains how the texts in this collection were
chosen, and provides a survey of Russian Jewish history to help the
reader understand the context and evaluate the significance of
Solovyov's work. In his extensive commentary in Part II, which
draws on key memoirs from family and friends, Glazov paints a rich
portrait of Solovyov's encounters with Jews and Judaism and of the
religious-philosophical ideas that he both brought to and derived
from those encounters. The Burning Bush explains why Jews
posthumously accorded Solovyov the accolade of a "righteous
gentile," and why his ecumenical hopes and struggles to reconcile
Judaism and Christianity and persuade secular authorities to
respect conscience and religious freedom still bear prophetic
vitality.
