520    Could the best thing about religion be the heresies it 
       spawns? Leading intellectuals in interwar Europe thought 
       so. They believed that they lived in a world made derelict
       by God's absence and the interruption of his call. In 
       response, they helped resurrect gnosticism and pantheism, 
       the two most potent challenges to the monotheistic 
       tradition. In God Interrupted, Benjamin Lazier tracks the 
       ensuing debates about the divine across confessions and 
       disciplines. He also traces the surprising afterlives of 
       these debates in postwar arguments about the environment, 
       neoconservative politics, and heretical forms of Jewish 
       identity. In lively, elegant prose, the book reorients the
       intellectual history of the era. God Interrupted also 
       provides novel accounts of three German-Jewish thinkers 
       whose ideas, seminal to fields typically regarded as 
       wildly unrelated, had common origins in debates about 
       heresy between the wars. Hans Jonas developed a philosophy
       of biology that inspired European Greens and bioethicists 
       the world over. Leo Strauss became one of the most 
       important and controversial political theorists of the 
       twentieth century. Gershom Scholem, the eminent scholar of
       religion, radically recast what it means to be a Jew. 
       Together they help us see how talk about God was adapted 
       for talk about nature, politics, technology, and art. They
       alert us to the abiding salience of the divine to 
       Europeans between the wars and beyond--even among those 
       for whom God was long missing or dead.
