Publisher's Synopsis
âJerusalem; a Treatise on Ecclesiastical Authority and Judaismâ by Moses Mendelssohn, originally published in 1838, remains a pivotal work in understanding the complex relationship between religious authority, political power, and Jewish identity. This volume delves into Mendelssohn's arguments concerning the separation of church and state, advocating for religious tolerance and individual freedom of conscience. Mendelssohn's exploration of Jewish law and its application within a broader societal context offers valuable insights into the challenges of maintaining religious traditions in the face of Enlightenment ideals. A significant contribution to both Jewish studies and the history of political thought, "Jerusalem" continues to resonate with readers interested in the ongoing dialogue between faith and reason.
