Who-or what-is God? Is God like a person? Does God have a gender?
Does God have a special relationship with the Jewish people? Does
God intervene in our lives? Is God good-and, if yes, why does evil
persist in the world? In investigating how Jewish thinkers have
approached these and other questions, Rabbi Kari H. Tuling
elucidates many compelling-and contrasting-ways of thinking about
God in Jewish tradition. Thinking about God addresses the genuinely
intertextual nature of evolving Jewish God concepts. Just as in
Jewish thought the Bible and other historical texts are living
documents, still present and relevant to the conversation unfolding
now, and just as a Jewish theologian examining a core concept
responds to the full tapestry of Jewish thought on the subject all
at once, this book is organized topically, covers Jewish sources
(including liturgy) from the biblical to the postmodern era, and
highlights the interplay between texts over time, up through our
own era. A highly accessible resource for introductory students,
Thinking about God also makes important yet challenging theological
texts understandable. By breaking down each selected text into its
core components, Tuling helps the reader absorb it both on its own
terms and in the context of essential theological questions of the
ages. Readers of all backgrounds will discover new ways to
contemplate God. Access a study guide.
