PART ONE
JACOB B. AGUS AS A STUDENT
OF MODERN JEWISH PHILOSOPHY

SELECTIONS AND
PREFATORY REMARKS
David Novak

FROM 1941, when he published his first book, Modern Philosophies of Judaism (originally his Harvard Ph.D. dissertation), until the end of his life, Jacob Agus continually wrestled with and reflected on modern Jewish thought in all its many variations.

The following selections, chosen to accompany David Novak’s essay “Jacob B. Agus as a Student of Modern Jewish Philosophy” in American Rabbi: The Life and Thought of Jacob B. Agus (New York, 1996), are drawn from Jacob Agus’Modern Philosophies of Judaism: A Study of Recent Jewish Philosophies of Religion (New York, 1941), 325–51; and High Priest of Rebirth: The Life, Times and Thought of Abraham Isaac Kuk (New York, 1972), 129–55 and 227–34 (originally published in 1946 under the title The Banner of Jerusalem).
