Jerome (Yehuda) Gellman (PhD Wayne State University) is professor emeritus of philosophy at Ben-Gurion University. He is the author of The Experience of God and the Rationality of Theistic Belief (1997) and Abraham! Abraham!: Kierkegaard and the Hasidim on the Binding of Isaac (2003).

“Chosenness remains the most challenging subject for any Jewish theology. This is particularly so in an interreligious age. Gellman brings fresh air where others either avoid engagement or simply repeat the formulations of yesteryear. Breaking theological ground is important both because of the solution it offers and because of the invitation to others to treat a difficult topic with the greatest seriousness. Gellman achieves both laudably. A must read anyone with serious interest in contemporary Jewish theology.”
