Description
In this major new work of theology, the
author posits the view that Judaism, as
presently conceived, lacks a firm modernist basis that can render it independent of momentary currents secular opinion. What it requires is not a position that either is entirely beyond the range of the scientific method or lies beyond the incalculable dimensions of the universe, but one that can be
defended against the objections of rationalism. In discussing such issues as suffering and redemption, election, the problem of "history," philosophical
knowledge, and "secular" Judaism, Dr.
Plotkin offers a straightforward, lucid,
and profound statement of the problem
of Jewish faith in the modern world. - from Amzon
