Description
The book that will set the next stage in the development of Jewish theological thought. At every critical juncture in Jewish history, Jews have understood a dynamic theology to be essential for a vital Jewish community. This important collection sets the next stage of Jewish theological thought, bringing together a cross section of powerful new voices from all movements in Judaism to inspire and stimulate discussion both now and in the years to come. Provocative and wide-ranging, these invigorating and challenging insights from a new generation's thought leaders create a coherent and inspiring picture of Jewish belief. Together, they explore the breadth and depth of contemporary Jewish theological thinking: Foundation of belief: How is it informed by sacred texts, and how does it inform life experience? Limits of Jewish belief: What can a Jew believe and still call it Jewish theology? Who or what determines an 'authentic' or 'coherent' Jewish theology? The role of the 'non-Jew' in Jewish theology: Can one affirm a unique relationship between God and the Jewish people, yet validate the integrity of another theological system? Israel: To what degree has the creation of a modern State of Israel forced a re-orientation of Jewish theology? How has the 'actualization' of this longstanding theological category changed Jewish theology as a whole? What's next: Does the contemporary Jewish condition insist on any other 'new questions' when it comes to Jewish theology? Does the 'new atheism' suggest a new challenge to belief?
