About This Item
New York: The Reconstructionist Press, 1957. Enlarged edition. Softcover. g. Quarto. XVI, 601, [1]pp. Uncut. Original printed wrappers over cloth with white lettering on spine. Remarkable work being the first attempt to redefine Judaism in a manner that took cognizance of all the interests of Jews. Conceiving of Judaism not merely in theological or denominational terms, it envisioned it as the civilization of the living and evolving Jewish people. It thus laid the foundation for a reconstruction of Jewish life which concerned itself with the totality of Judaism. Spine and edges of wrappers age-toned. Wraps in overall good, binding and interior in very good condition.
