The third volume covers the period from 1860 to 1920, beginning with the Jews, slavery, and the Civil War, and concluding with the rise of Reform Judaism as well as the increasing spirit of secularization that characterized emancipated, prosperous, liberal Jewry before it was confronted by a rising tide of American anti-Semitism in the 1920s.

First published in 1938, this sourcebook presents 137 documents that deal with individual Jews and the Jewish community during the Jewish Middle Ages. It offers a sweeping view of Jewish historical experience from late antiquity until modern times, with introductions and annotations to make these sources accessible to the modern reader. For this new edition, Marc Saperstein has updated Muarcus's 96 bibliographies, providing references to modern scholarly research on each topic. In his introduction, he analyzes and evaluates Marcus's decision regarding periodization, organization and inclusion. In doing so, he offers further insights about the implications of those decisions for our own understanding of Jewish history.
