To Broaden the Way suggests that the texts of both the Jewish and
Confucian tradition talk in riddles of a special kind: riddles,
which are introduced - and answered - by religious forms of life.
Using a "dialogue of riddles," Galia Patt-Shamir presents a
comparative perspective of Confucianism and Judaism regarding the
relatedness between contradictory expressions in texts and living
conflicts. The Confucian riddle is characterized here as a mystery
to be deciphered by self-reflection, under the assumptions of a
harmonious community, and a unity of being. The Jewish riddle is
characterized as a test to be responded to, under the assumption of
a disharmonious community, and a necessary rapture in reality. This
book expands the dialogue between traditions, and offers both a
method and an implication of the question, "what is religion
about?"
