The Bible is an enduring source of inspiration for the human heart
and mind, and readers of Thinking about the Torah will be rewarded
with an enhanced understanding of this great work's deeper
meanings. Drawing on Western philosophy and particularly Jewish
philosophy, Kenneth Seeskin delves into ten core biblical verses
and the powerful ideas that emerge from them. He speaks to readers
on every page and invites conversation about topics central to
human existence: how finite beings can relate to the infinite, what
love is, the role of ethics in religion, and the meaning of
holiness. Seeskin raises questions we all ask and responds to them
with curiosity and compassion, weaving into his own perceptive
commentary insights from great Jewish thinkers such as Maimonides,
Spinoza, Buber, Rosenzweig, and Levinas, as well as Plato,
Aristotle, Augustine, Luther, Kant, and Kierkegaard. The Bible is
concerned with how we think as well as how we follow the
commandments, rituals, and customs. Seeskin inspires us to read the
Torah with an open mind and think about the lessons it teaches us.
