Ninety-Two Poems and Hymns of Yehuda Halevi
- Used Book in Good Condition
Through translation and commentary, this book presents the final visionary statements of the German-Jewish philosopher Franz Rosenzweig.

This is the first publication in English of Franz Rosenzweigâ€™s 1927 translation of and commentaries on ninety-two poems and hymns of the greatest medieval â€œsinger of Zion,â€ Yehuda Halevi (born circa 1080). Franz Rosenzweig (1886-1929) is widely recognized as one of the greatest Jewish philosophers of the modern period and his Star of Redemption is considered one of the most important twentieth-century contributions to Jewishâ€•and Christianâ€•theology.

Rosenzweigâ€™s original and brilliant commentaries open a window into the final developments of his own thought: his debates with Protestant theology, his reservations regarding modern science and culture, and his progressive appreciation for the wisdom of the Jewish tradition. They are a testament not only to the profound vision of Judaism embedded in the poetry of Yehuda Halevi, but to the ever vibrant and deepening sagacity of Franz Rosenzweig himself.
