The author has argued that the traditional doctrine which claims that 'the Torah is from Heaven' can and should be maintained - provided that the word 'from' is understood in a non-fundamentalist way to denote that there is a human as well as a divine element in the Torah. As a result of these views, which were first published in the still-controversial text 'We Have Reason to Believe', the Anglo-Jewish Orthodox hierarchy banned the author from serving as an Orthodox rabbi. This text examines afresh all the issues involved.Liverpool scholarship online.JudaismHistory of doctrines20th centuryJudaism20th centuryJudaismHistory of doctrinesJudaism296.3Jacobs Louis649326StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910467005403321Beyond reasonable doubt2069669UNINA
