A Top Ten Book for Parish Ministry from the Academy of Parish
Clergy 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.
