description | Rosenzweig’s principal interlocutors are commonly taken to be idealist and existentialist philosophers. Rosenzweig’s disparaging remarks at the beginning of Part Two of <i>The Star of Redemption</i> regarding modern theology and its progenitor, Friedrich Schleiermacher, strengthen the view that the <i>Star</i> is best understood in a philosophical context. However, a close reading of the <i>Star</i> alongside Schleiermacher’s main doctrinal work, <i>The Christian Faith</i>, reveals surprising points of similarity on a wide range of topics. Furthermore, the points of contradiction between the two works can illuminate Rosenzweig’s contributions to modern theology. |
