Another Modernity is a rich study of the life and thought of Elia Benamozegh, a nineteenth-century rabbi and philosopher whose work profoundly influenced Christian-Jewish dialogue in twentieth-century Europe. Benamozegh, a Livornese rabbi of Moroccan descent, was a prolific writer and transnational thinker who corresponded widely with religious and intellectual figures in France, the Maghreb, and the Middle East. This idiosyncratic figure, who argued for the universalism of Judaism and for interreligious engagement, came to influence a spectrum of religious thinkers so varied that it includes proponents of the ecumenical Second Vatican Council, American evangelists, and right-wing Zionists in Israel. What Benamozegh proposed was unprecedented: that the Jewish tradition presented a solution to the religious crisis of modernity. According to Benamozegh, the defining features of Judaism were universalism, a capacity to foster interreligious engagement, and the political power and mythical allure of its theosophical tradition, Kabbalah—all of which made the Jewish tradition uniquely equipped to assuage the post-Enlightenment tensions between religion and reason. In this book, Clémence Boulouque presents a wide-ranging and nuanced investigation of Benamozegh's published and unpublished work and his continuing legacy, considering his impact on Christian-Jewish dialogue as well as on far-right Christians and right-wing religious Zionists.

Faith is a word frequently used these days as we continue to struggle through a pandemic that took the lives of over eight hundred thousand Americans and rising. Amid unsolved questions posed to the world of medicine in the throes of political and social unrest, the darkness of this nightmare has left many with a growing skepticism in the leadership of many traditional institutions of Church and State. Why are people so concerned over the existential issues of life and faith during these unprecedented times where the world seems to have gone topsy-turvy? Louis Marini suggests that faith has always been a multidimensional reality inherent in people’s lives. People have always aspired to faith to unite a nation in times of distress and social unrest. The human act of believing is the first step to walking in faith. Believing is always “believing in” another human being. Faith always necessitates and is sustained only in relationships whether faith is solely based upon human interaction or seeking communion with the Divine. These reflections open the possibility for discussions that faith is not just a human phenomenon but a natural gift that may transition into a relationship with the Divine. Faith, which is fundamentally a human reality, can become a divine mystery. This realization hopefully can console and heal us from the scars left from the angst of these uncertain times.
