Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Answers to a Jewish Enquirer The "Oxford Movement" still arouses interest in England. What led to it? What forces were at work? Whence came this revival of Catholic feeling, affecting some of the most brilliant minds of the day? The names of the great converts - Newman, Faber, Ward, Oakley, Dalgairns and others - are well known to students of the period. But comparatively few people have looked as far as another ancient University, that of Strasbourg, where a religious movement was also taking place, also important and significant - the first considerable modern conversion from Judaism to Christianity. For centuries cruel methods of persecution had thrown the Jews back upon themselves, and there seemed no point of contact with the Christian world. Then, in the year 1791, amongst the thunderbolts from the storm of the French Revolution, came an act which decreed their emancipation. Fifteen years later, the genius of Napoleon ordered the fusion of French and Jewish nationalities, and it was just at this moment that the author of the following Answers to a Jewish Enquirer was born. He came of an aristocratic Jewish family. His grandfather on one side obtained a patent of nobility from Louis XVI, and his maternal grandfather, the gentle and much-beloved Theodore Cerfbeer, gave shelter to priests and religious during the Reign of Terror, and was the trusted guardian of many sacred vessels from Catholic churches.
