Leopold Zunz Quotes

“A religion, which is not able or no more able to raise to the height of acquired science, is a dead religion.”

Leopold Zunz

Eine Religion, welche nicht oder nicht mehr fähig ist, sich auf die Höhe der erworbenen Wissenschaft zu erheben, ist eine tote Religion.
Quoted in Lippische Mitteilungen aus Geschichte und Landeskunde, Volume 75, p. 127
