Publicly or secretly, traditional Jews increasingly doubt the
historical reliability of the Torah. Here, Gellman provides an
""old-fashioned"" Jewish theology for accepting the contemporary
critique of Torah and history. Gellman presents an outline of the
scholarly conclusions, and then examines faith responses and
rejects apologetic attempts to evade the challenge. The book
elucidates the notions of Divine Providence and Divine
Accommodation that then provide a basis for the thesis that for
centuries Divine Providence has been guiding toward a
non-historical, non-literal understanding of the Torah. This was
from God. Gellman advocates Hasidic-type non-literal approaches as
most fitting for our times. Then, in light of the book's thesis,
Gellman offers his understanding of Torah from Heaven, prayer, and
the continuing validity of the commandments, for present-day
traditional Judaism.
