Der Stern der Erlösung (The Star of Redemption) is Rosenzweig’s major philosophical work. The first draft was written in the trenches and in a military hospital while serving in the German Army during W.W.I. In this work, he describes the relationships among God, humanity, and the world as they are connected by creation, revelation and redemption. In Rosenzweig’s scheme, revelation arises not in metaphysics, but in the here and now of daily religious practice.
