Daniel Hershkovitz

Daniel M. Hershkovitz, a Professor of Religious Studies at Duke University, explores Franz Rosenzweig's work, The Star of Redemption, revealing its deep connections to Protestant thought. He discusses how understanding this influence solves longstanding puzzles and reshapes perceptions of Rosenzweig's intentions. Hershkovitz highlights the importance of integrating theology into Jewish studies and argues for Rosenzweig as a genuinely Judeo-Christian thinker. The conversation also dives into themes of revelation, temporality, and the implications of Rosenzweig's philosophical views for both Judaism and Christianity.
