Sina Rauschenbach holds the chair of religious studies and Jewish thought at the University of Potsdam.

While in her book Rauschenbach does not speculate on Menasseh’s inner life, she nevertheless manages to paint a complex character. She does so by superbly analyzing the way Menasseh developed into a medi­ator committed to cultural transfer from Amsterdam’s Iberian Jewry to the Christian Republic of Letters with its many Christian denominations.
