Explores how modern Jewish thinkers confront faith, reason, and suffering with courage and insight. This introduction surveys a spectrum of ideas from influential 20th‑century Jewish thinkers, showing how they blend doubt and devotion to shape a living Jewish thought for our times.

The book traces a path from doubt to faith, highlighting how figures like Magnes, Buber, and Rosenzweig reframe God, life, and obligation. It investigates the tension between tragedy and hope, the role of religious practice, and the idea that faith must engage with the real-world problem of evil while remaining deeply humane.
