The Future of Jewish Theology cover

This engaging argument for the future of Jewish theology, written by a renowned Jewish scholar, provides a rounded introduction to the faith, its history, and its place in the modern world.

  • Explores foundational Jewish structures and concepts through the discussion and interpretation of Jewish texts
  • Argues that we must acknowledge holiness as a ritual and ethical reality in order to heal the rift between different forms of Jewish practice and theology
  • Covers historical context as well as the relations between Judaism, Israel and the wider world today
  • Speaks to both Jews and non-Jews and demonstrates through textual readings how Jews, Christians, and Muslims can understand and share their theological riches

"Summing Up: Recommended. Professionals/practitioners; theologians."  (Choice, 1 August 2013)

"His presentation of Maimonides and Hermann Cohen is noteworthy for being succinct but fair.......his discussion of liturgical reasoning is a “must-read” for any student wishing to understand Jewish prayer." (Religious Studies Review 2016)
