| Summary: | The name ‘Edith Stein’ evokes all of the pain and promise of the complex relationship between Christianity and Judaism in the post-Holocaust world. Born and raised as a German Jew, Stein became a Christian in adulthood and was canonized as a saint in 1998 by the Roman Catholic Church. Her recent sainthood has sparked a number of new books. Unfortunately, few if any of them have had the student in mind. This book fills that gap. Sarah Borden has written a highly accessible, learned, and sane introduction to the whole shape of Stein's life and thought., The book is divided into eight chapters and begins with a helpful introduction to Stein's life and writings. Borden places Stein's phenomenological work at the forefront in a chapter on ‘Phenomenology and the Person’. |
