Judaism as a civilization; toward a reconstruction of American-Jewish life by Mordecai Menahem Kaplan( )

71 editions published between 1934 and 2019 in English and Undetermined and held by 2,864 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Judaism as a Civilization is widely considered the genesis of the Reconstructionist Movement, representing a watershed moment in modern Judaism. In this classic book, Mordecai Kaplan introduced a new way of looking at Judaism: as an evolving religious civilization.
