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?
