In this volume of essays, Howard Wettstein explores the foundations
of religious commitment. His orientation is broadly naturalistic,
but not in the mode of reductionism or eliminativism. This
collection explores questions of broad religious interest, but does
so through a focus on the author's religious tradition, Judaism.
Among the issues explored are the nature and role of awe, ritual,
doctrine, religious experience; the distinction between belief and
faith; problems of evil and suffering with special attention to the
Book of Job and to the Akedah, the biblical story of the binding of
Isaac; the virtue of forgiveness. One of the book's highlights is
its literary (as opposed to philosophical) approach to theology
that at the same time makes room for philosophical exploration of
religion. Another is Wettstein's rejection of the usual picture
that sees religious life as sitting atop a distinctive metaphysical
foundation, one that stands in need of epistemological
justification.
