About This Text

Author: Jonathan Sacks
Crisis and Covenant: Jewish Thought After the Holocaust is a 20th-century work by Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks that considers the dilemma of how Jews can maintain a sense of peoplehood across the religious and cultural divisions that are the heritage of the Jewish encounter with modernity. Sacks explores contemporary Jewish responses to this dilemma through an examination of its understanding of the concepts of covenant and peoplehood, of the nature of religious pluralism within a Jewish context, of the relationship of Jewish law to contemporary society, and of the interpretation of religious texts today.
