Description
The Problem of God in Jewish Thought provides a comprehensive examination of how Jewish philosophers and theologians have addressed the most profound questions concerning God’s existence, nature, and role in the universe. This volume, part of the Elements in the Problems of God series, traces the intellectual heritage of Jewish thought from biblical times through contemporary philosophy.
The authors, Jerome Gellman and Joseph Turner, present various Jewish approaches to theodicy, divine omniscience, free will, and God’s relationship with creation. The work integrates insights from rabbinic literature, medieval Jewish philosophy, and modern Jewish thought, demonstrating how each era has contributed unique perspectives to these enduring questions.
By analyzing the contributions of major Jewish thinkers including Maimonides, Spinoza, and contemporary philosophers, this study illuminates how Jewish intellectual tradition offers distinctive solutions to classical problems in philosophy of religion. The book serves as both an introduction to Jewish philosophy and a sophisticated treatment of theological challenges.
