Montefiore's Truth in Religion of 1906. It combines forthrightly radical thinking with spirituality, love of Jewish tradition, and an abundance of carefully documented quotations from classical Jewish sources.

There is no doubt about Baeck's contribution to Jewish theology in the twentieth century: it has been significant.

Prepare to revive your Jewish community with the transformative power of the Divine spirit.
