Philosophy in a Time of Crisis : Don Isaac Abravanel: Defender of the Faith, Paperback / softback Book

Philosophy in a Time of Crisis : Don Isaac Abravanel: Defender of the Faith Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Jewish Studies Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

The expulsion from Spain did not only result in the destruction and dispersion of Spanish Jewry but led to a crisis in Jewish faith.

Don Isaac Abravanel provided a systematic treatment of the main philosophical and theological beliefs of Judaism in an attempt to resolve the inner doubts of his co-religionists.

In their Italian exile his son Judah too recognized that Jews were now living in a new cultural world, but he forged a different road for Jews to pursue in their entry into the culture of the Renaissance.

This book presents a picture of one family facing the challenges of a new era in Jewish history.
