Theology as a discipline of the 'Wissenschaft des Judentums' (1830-1910): An Overview

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper calls for the inclusion of Jewish theology as discipline with the study of the movement on 'Wissenschaft des Judentums'. The sources speak a clear language: considering that many of the important protagonists of the 'Wissenschaft' movement were at the same time community rabbis, theology might be seen as the connecting link between the two occupations - a scientific, critical approach to Jewish theology made it possible for those rabbis to transfer the modern ideal of scientificity from their research on to their daily professional ptactice.
