Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy

Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy (1888-1973) was a German Christian theologian and close friend of FR. At the age of sixteen he converted to Christianity. During the First World War, both FR and Rosenstock-Huessy served on different fronts and a correspondence developed. While Rosenstock-Huessy attacked Judaism, FR came to its defense. The letters were collected and published in English (Judaism Despite Christianity, by Rosenstock-Huessy, Birmingham, 1969).
