Beskrivning
Jerome Gellman presents a new theology of the Jews as the Chosen People, addressing self-serving ethnocentric supremacy, cultural isolation, and defamation of religions other than Judaism. This book is traditional in taking chosenness and the truth of Judaism seriously, and in eschewing a theology of multiple covenants. At the same time, it is critical, rejecting previous concepts of chosenness, and innovative, offering for the twenty-first century a fresh way of seeing the Jews’ place in the world. On this foundation, Gellman suggests a new approach to inter-religious understanding from a Jewish point of view, and examines the impact of his proposal on traditional Jewish liturgy.

Recensioner i media

“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.”
