The Claims of the Jews to an Equality of Rights (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, by Isaac Leeser, unpacks the conflict that has existed for centuries between the Jewish people and the Christian world. Leeser was a 19th-century Jewish scholar who wrote a series of public letters in defense of his faith, prompted by an article in the prestigious London Quarterly Review. Those letters have been compiled in this book, in which Leeser rebuts common arguments against the Jewish people, such as accusations of their inferiority and their alleged complicity in Christ's death. Leeser also argues that Jews have a right to equal citizenship in European countries, and that their religious beliefs should be respected. The book provides a valuable historical document of anti-Semitism in the 19th century, as well as a powerful argument for religious tolerance. Leeser's plea for a more just and equitable society is as relevant today as it was when he first wrote these letters. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
