520    Over the last four centuries, a small group of thinkers 
       attempted to answer a series of remarkably challenging 
       questions: In a world having a history of untold suffering
       - especially, it seemed, for Jews - was the existence of 
       an all-powerful and comforting God still tenable? What 
       were the purpose and meaning of Jewish practices and 
       customs? Could Jews still justify the notion of a chosen 
       people in a social climate in which Jewish integration and
       full participation with the rest of humanity had become 
       the norm? Although their approaches and solutions differed,
       most thinkers shared a common goal: to provide a 
       continuing sense of faith, meaning, and identity for their
       fellow Jews. Through these 24 necessary lectures, you 
       observe the time-honored intellectual tradition through 
       which Judaism analyzes, rethinks, and reformulates itself.
       This process of preserving its essential character while 
       still trying to accommodate itself to the modern world has
       kept Judaism a vital and vibrant, rather than static, 
       religion. Professor Ruderman introduces you to a new and 
       rich body of thinkers and thinking - particularly the 
       prominent philosopher Benedict (Baruch) Spinoza. This 
       course considers modern Jewish thought largely in terms of
       two issues: the response to Spinoza and his attack on the 
       very viability of Judaism, and the shift in the standard 
       by which Jews defined themselves and their faith. In the 
       modern age, it became the non-Jewish world. With these two
       issues in mind, you'll consider the various thinkers 
       according to three approaches: insiders, outsiders, and 
       rejectionists. In Professor Ruderman's estimation, Jewish 
       thinking is a widespread and necessary part of Jewish life,
       an effort to find meaning and hope in an uncertain world.
