Judaism and Christianity have different meanings for the concept of
`God.' These religions rely on different transmitted texts.
Different words - in the biblical Hebrew, biblical Greek, biblical
Latin, biblical English - contribute to confusion in meaning. For
example, what does `elohim' mean? Is there a difference between
`Yah' and `Yahweh'? This book examines this confusion in meaning in
the biblical texts. This confusion is at the heart of the divorce
of Judaism and Christianity. Despite this, we can have a new way of
understanding the concept "God", by which one may re-examine and
support a minority point of view in rabbinic tradition, known as
the "two powers in heaven" doctrine. Given this revision, there is
ample reason for enlightened renewal of a "messianic"
interpretation of both Jewish and Christian faiths. This book,
therefore, speaks to theologians, philosophers of religion with
interests in Jewish and Christian religious traditions, students of
philosophy, and informed believers.
