Coherent Judaism begins by excavating the theologies within the
Torah and tracing their careers through the Jewish Enlightenment of
the 18th century. Any compelling, contemporary Judaism must cohere
as much as possible with traditional Judaism. The challenge is that
over the past two centuries, our understandings of both the Torah
and nature have radically changed. Nevertheless, much Jewish wisdom
can be translated into a contemporary idiom that not only coheres
with what we know about our world but also enriches our lives as
individuals and within our communities.Coherent Judaism explains
why pre-modern Judaism opted to privilege consensus around Jewish
behavior (halakhah) over belief. The stresses of modernity have
conspired to reveal the incoherence of that traditional approach.
In our post-Darwinian and post-Holocaust world, theology must be
able to withstand the challenges of science and history.
Traditional Jewish theologies have the resources to meet those
challenges. Coherent Judaism concludes by presenting a philosophy
of halakhah that is faithful to the covenantal aspiration to live
long on the land that the Lord, our God, has given us.
