Biographical note: Ran HaCohen, Tel-Aviv University, Israel.
| Summary: | Biographical note: Ran HaCohen, Tel-Aviv University, Israel. Main description: The 19th century saw the rise of Biblical Criticism in German universities, culminating in Wellhausen’s radical revision of the history of biblical times and religion. For German-Jewish intellectuals, the academic discipline promised emancipation from traditional Christian readings of Scripture– but at the same time suffered from what was perceived as anti-Jewish bias, this time in scholarly robes. 0Reclaiming the Hebrew Bible0 describes the German-Jewish strategies to cope with Biblical Criticism– varying from an enthusiastic welcome, through modified adoption, to resolute rejection. |
