Abstract
K.H. Miskotte, towards a renewed Relationship with Judaism
Miskotte’s dissertation on The Essence of Judaism (1932) contained a phenomenological ‘Wesensschau’, a preparation of Jewish-Christian encounter and an inner-protestant dispute at the same time. Around the Second World War too, unconditional solidarity with the persecuted Jewish people and warnings against Jewish influences on Protestantism were simultaneously present in his writings. At the end of his life, as it is presented here for the first time, Miskotte reflected in a disturbed mood on the book of rabbi Ignaz Maybaum, The Face of God after Auschwitz, and returned to his initial judgement on Liberal Judaism.
