In the postmodern, relativist world-view with its refutation of a
single, objective, and ultimate truth, it has become difficult if
not impossible to argue in favour of one's own beliefs as
preferable to those of others. Miriam Feldmann Kaye's pioneering
study is one of the first English-language books to address Jewish
theology from a postmodern perspective, probing the question of how
Jewish theology has the potential to survive the postmodern
onslaught that some see as heralding the collapse of religion.
Basing her arguments on both philosophical and theological
scholarship, Feldmann Kaye shows how postmodernism might actually
be a resource for rejuvenating religion. Her response to the
conception of theology and postmodernism as competing systems of
thought is based on a close critical study of Rav Shagar (Shimon
Gershon Rosenberg) and Tamar Ross. Rather than advocating
postmodern ideas, she analyses their writings through the lens of
the most radical of continental postmodern philosophers and
cultural critics in order to offer a compelling theology compatible
with that world-view. Whether the reader considers postmodernism to
be inherently problematic or merely inconsequential, this study
demonstrates why reconsidering these preconceptions is one of the
most pressing issues in contemporary Jewish thought.
