Jacob Taubes (1923–1987) was a Jewish thinker whose life and work were marked by controversy and intellectual exploration. Born into a distinguished line of Talmudic scholars, Taubes embarked on a journey that took him from prewar Vienna to Zurich, Israel, and Cold War Berlin. He was a prolific writer and thinker, known for his ability to bridge the gap between Judaism and Christianity, left and right, piety and transgression. Taubes interacted with many of the leading minds of the age, including Leo Strauss, Gershom Scholem, Herbert Marcuse, Susan Sontag, and Carl Schmitt. Professor of Apocalypse is the definitive biography of Taubes, offering a comprehensive and vivid portrayal of his life and work. Jerry Muller's book explores Taubes's personal tensions and how they mirrored broader conflicts between religious belief and scholarship, allegiance to Jewish origins and the urge to escape them, tradition and radicalism, and religion and politics. It traces Taubes's emergence as a prominent interpreter of the Apostle Paul, influencing generations of scholars, and his journey from crisis theology to the Frankfurt School and from a radical Hasidic sect in Jerusalem to the center of academic debates over Gnosticism, secularization, and the revolutionary potential of apocalypticism. Professor of Apocalypse offers an unforgettable account of an electrifying world of ideas, focused on a charismatic personality who thrived on controversy and conflict.
