520    "In thinking about which works of Jewish thought can and 
       should be an essential part of every Jewish library, I 
       conceived of the volume you hold in your hand. Each 
       chapter in this book features a scholar of Jewish studies 
       revisiting a particularly foundational and salient work of
       maḥshevet Yisrael (Jewish thought), from medieval to 
       modern, and discussing its themes, its historical context,
       the circumstances and background of its author (the 
       "person of the book"), and, most importantly, its 
       contemporary relevance."--Preface, pages ix-x.
