Dynamic Judaism: The Essential Writings of Mordecai M. Kaplan
The late Mordecai M. Kaplan was the founder of Reconstructionist Judaism, the fourth branch of contemporary American Judaism. Reconstructionism eschews belief in a supernatural deity but stresses the ethnicity, folkways, and cultural aspects of the Jewish faith. This intelligently organized anthology contains excerpts from Kaplan's basic writings which elucidate his theology, teachings, and suggestions for the con tinuance and survival of the Jewish reli gion. An excellent introduction to Re constructionism for general readers and should be in most Judaica collec tions. Robert A.
