A Jewish Public Theology draws from Halakhah, Jewish law, to
address some of the most searing current policy issues. Abraham
Unger examines how Jewish tradition speaks to globalization and its
attendant political and economic cleavages. Classical Jewish
thought sits on a perch outside of the defining parameters of the
global political conversation and as such cannot be pigeon holed as
populist, leftist, or rightist. Judaism was born in antiquity and
therefore predates by millennia these current ideological biases.
That intellectual distance, both due to the long arc of Jewish
history, and outsider minority status as a tradition, allows for a
critical distance. Unger explores how the Jewish tradition compels
the living out of a public policy framework through the forging of
equitable communities using arguments that go beyond political
orthodoxies. In this socially fragile era, the possibility of that
message offers a hopeful discourse of significant possibility for
all humankind.
