Spanning the fields of literature, history, philosophy, and
theology, Unsettling Jewish Knowledge adopts a fresh approach to
the study of Jewish thought and culture. By creatively
foregrounding the role of emotions, senses, and the imagination in
Jewish experience, the book invites readers to consider what it
means for Jewish identity and experience to be constituted outside
the frameworks of reasoned thought and inquiry. The collection’s
eight essays offer innovative and provocative approaches to a
diverse array of topics including modern Jewish-Christian
relations, the book of Isaiah, contemporary Jewish fiction, and
philosophical meditations on Jewish law. Their bold interpretations
of Jewish texts and histories are centered on questions of faith,
loss, prejudice, and enchantment—and the darker implications of
these questions. The book’s essays also illuminate the importance
of desire as a key motivating force in the pursuit of knowledge.
Weaving together insights from several disciplines, Unsettling
Jewish Knowledge challenges us to grapple with the unexpected, the
unconventional, and the uncomfortable aspects of Jewish experience
and its representations. Contributors: Anne C. Dailey, John Efron,
Yael S. Feldman, Galit Hasan-Rokem, Martin Kavka, Lital Levy, Shaul
Magid, Eva Mroczek, Paul E. Nahme, Eli Schonfeld, Shira Stav.
