An excellent sourcebook for students and readers of Benjamin coming at his life and writing for the first time. Almost every source that could be called 'religious' or 'religion' in circles close to him, circles he may have crossed, and circles far from him is given a nod. -Paul North, author of The Yield: Kafka's Atheological Reformation

An excellent sourcebook for students and readers of Benjamin coming at his life and writing for the first time. Almost every source that could be called 'religious' or 'religion' in circles close to him, circles he may have crossed, and circles far from him is given a nod. -Paul North, author of The Yield: Kafka's Atheological Reformation This book is an excellent case study for the fate of modern religion at the crossroad of social practice and personal experience. Depicting the rich and diverse religious landscape it reveals new perspectives on an epoch that is still central for our critical thought. It stresses the importance of religion for intellectual history, in particular of those small religious practices that Britt's careful reconstructions bring back to life. -Daniel Weidner, author of Bibel und Literatur um 1800
