Description
David Biale traces the intellectual history of Jewish secularism, arguing that it is not a modern departure from tradition but a long-standing internal dialogue within Jewish culture. By examining key thinkers from the medieval period to the twentieth century, the book demonstrates how secular ideas emerged from the tensions between religious authority and the pursuit of autonomy.
