Halakhic Man, Authentic Jew: Modern Expressions of Orthodox Thought from Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik and Rabbi Eliezer Berkovits

(Urim Publications) This book is a comparative study of the thoughts of two rabbis about what constitutes a model Jew and the understanding and presentation of Halakha in a modern age. Asserting that Modern Orthodox thought is simply orthodoxy translated into modern language and thought structures, Bedzow ultimately suggests that Soloveitchik and Berkovits actually went beyond a translation to a deviation from traditional Jewish thought.
