"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, Clemence 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wide-ranging and nuanced investigation of Benamozegh's published and unpublished work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."
