Book Summary
""God Interrupted" is a work of an unusual talent. The analysis is brilliant; virtually each page sparkles with novel insights."--Paul Mendes-Flohr, University of Chicago Divinity School "This is a fascinating and highly original look at the return in interwar German-Jewish thought of certain heretical tendencies of the Jewish past. In part a study of political theology, in part a study of 'modern heresy, ' Lazier's book exhibits a capaciousness and creativity that will no doubt transform the way we think about the place of religion in modern intellectual history."--Peter Gordon, Harvard University ""God Interrupted" tells a fascinating story about three Weimar Jewish intellectuals--Hans Jonas, Leo Strauss, and Gershom Scholem--and their significance for understanding the trope of heresy in interwar Europe. This has the potential to be the most important book on theology in Weimar Germany."--Leora Batnitzky, Princeton University
