There is no doubt about Baeck's contribution to Jewish theology in
the twentieth century: it has been significant. Without ever
departing completely from the ancient wellsprings of orthodoxy, he
was a studious observer of the intellectual currents of his time
and ambience; under theinfluence of liberal Jewish theology, he
drew on and reworked those currents, weaving them into his own
theological thought. A special aspect of Baeck's work is that he
remained in critical confrontation with Christianity throughout his
life, acting as a kind of builder of bridges between the two
faiths." (From the Introduction.) It is on this aspect that the
author focuses his study inwhich he examines Leo Baeck's critical
evaluation of Martin Luther and Protestantism. At the same time
Homolka shows how close the intellectual links between liberal
Christian and liberal Jewish theology had become before the
Holocaust: both sides attempted a new definition of the "essence"
of their faiths and were searching for a new identity in an
increasingly pluralistic and secular society.
