The Star of Redemption is widely recognized as a key document of modern existential thought and a significant contribution to Jewish theology in the twentieth century. An affirmation of what Rosenzweig called "the new thinking," the work ensconces common sense in the place of abstract, conceptual philosophizing and posits the validity of the concrete, individual human being over that of "humanity" in general.

Franz Rosenzweig is one of the greatest contributors to Jewish philosophy in the twentieth century and is, with Martin Buber and Abraham Heschel, one of the Jewish thinkers most widely read by Christians.

I. Geschichtliche Voraussetzungen und Fragestellungen "Der Stern der Erlosung" ist ein Beispiel fur die Neuorientierung des Denkens in der Zeit um den ersten Weltkrieg, die Suche nach einem Weg aus der Krise der europaischen Kultur.
