  • Robert C. Holub. Nietzsche’s Jewish Problem

    Open AccessAlan T Levenson, Alan LevensonARTICLEThe American Historical Review2018

    Friedrich Nietzsche spoke and wrote without fear of contradiction or criticism. Although Nietzsche never perceived himself as having a Jewish “problem,” his interpreters, from Nietzsche’s own lifetime until the present, certainly have thought he did. Nazi intellectuals, attracted to many elements of his philosophy, had to reckon with Nietzsche’s contempt for the antisemitic parties of his own era. Prominent figures such as Walter Kaufmann, who wi…

  • Missionary Protestants as Defenders and Detractors of Judaism

    Alan T Levenson, Alan LevensonARTICLEThe Jewish Quarterly Review2002

    Franz Delitzsch (1812-1890) and Hermann Strack (1848-1922) were two missionary Protestants who were also leaders in the fight against antisemitism. Well-known figures in their own day, Strack and Delitzsch have been marginalized in studies of Protestant missionary efforts to convert Jews and also in the histories of anti-antisemitism in Imperial Germany. This essay argues that Jews and Judaism presented a difficult crux for both men, who were dee…

  • Christian Author, Jewish Book? Methods and Sources in Thomas Mann's Joseph

    Alan T Levenson, Alan LevensonARTICLEThe German Quarterly1998

    Thomas Mann's tetralogy Joseph und seine Briider has been evaluated from many perspectives: as a Bildungsroman,i as an historical novel,2 as a clever manipulation of tradition and myth,3 as an antifascist parable,4 even as an obsessive exercise in homoeroticism.5 But Joseph has been analyzed only episodically as an example of Bible commentary. 6 This fact owes more to the academic division of labor than to the contents of the work, which, while v…
