Leading intellectuals in interwar Europe thought so. They believed that they lived in a world made derelict by God's absence and the interruption of his call. In response, they helped resurrect gnosticism and pantheism, the two most potent challenges to the monotheistic tradition. In God Interrupted, Benjamin Lazier tracks the ensuing debates about the divine across confessions and disciplines. He also traces the surprising afterlives of these debates in postwar arguments about the environment, neoconservative politics, and heretical forms of Jewish identity. In lively, elegant prose, the book reorients the intellectual history of the era. God Interrupted also provides novel accounts of three German-Jewish thinkers whose ideas, seminal to fields typically regarded as wildly unrelated, had common origins in debates about heresy between the wars. Hans Jonas developed a philosophy of biology that inspired European Greens and bioethicists the world over. Leo Strauss became one of the most important and controversial political theorists of the twentieth century. Gershom Scholem, the eminent scholar of religion, radically recast what it means to be a Jew. Together they help us see how talk about God was adapted for talk about nature, politics, technology, and art. They alert us to the abiding salience of the divine to Europeans between the wars and beyond--even among those for whom God was long missing or dead. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Jonas, Hans,|d1903-1993.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n80065852 600 10 Scholem, Gershom,|d1897-1982.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n50002841 600 10 Strauss, Leo.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79081867 600 17 Jonas, Hans,|d1903-1993.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/55537 600 17 Scholem, Gershom,|d1897-1982.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1801519 600 17 Strauss, Leo.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/39644 600 17 Jonas, Hans|cPhilosoph.|2swd 600 17 Scholem, Gershom.|2swd 600 17 Strauss, Leo.|2swd 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900 - 1999|2fast 650 0 God (Judaism)|xHistory of doctrines|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008118220|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002012476 650 0 Jewish philosophy|y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2010014774 650 0 Heresy|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85060383 |xHistory|y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2002006165 650 0 Pantheism|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85097492|xHistory|y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 0 Gnosticism|xHistory|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008118214|y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002012476 650 7 God (Judaism)|xHistory of doctrines.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/944160 650 7 Jewish philosophy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1730516 650 7 Heresy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/955449 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Pantheism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1052224 650 7 Gnosticism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/943906 650 7 Intellectual life.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 975769 651 0 Europe|xIntellectual life|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85045730 651 7 Europe.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1245064 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aLazier, Benjamin, 1971-|tGod interrupted.|dPrinceton, N.J. : Princeton University Press, ©2008|z9780691136707|w(DLC) 2008005405|w(OCoLC)212375652 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=355995|zOnline eBook.
