In light of David Novak's insights, Matthew Levering proposes that Christian theological responses to supersessionism need to preserve both the Church's development of doctrine and Rabbinic Judaism's ability to define its own boundaries. The book undertakes constructive philosophical theology in dialogue with Novak. Exploring the interrelated doctrines of divine providence/theonomy, the image of God, and natural law, Levering places Novak's work in conversation especially with Thomas Aquinas, whose approach fosters a rich dialogue with Novak's broadly Maimonidean perspective. It focuses upon the relationship of human beings to the Creator, with attention to the philosophical entailments of Jewish and Christian covenantal commitments, aiming to spell out what true freedom involves. It concludes by asking whether Christians and Jews would do better to bracket our covenantal commitments in pursuing such wisdom. Drawing upon Novak's work, the author argues that in the face of suffering and death, God's covenantal election makes possible hope, lacking which the quest for wisdom runs aground."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aChristianity and other religions$xJudaism 606 $aJudaism$xRelations$xChristianity 606 $2Interfaith relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChristianity and other religions$xJudaism. 615 0$aJudaism$xRelations$xChristianity. 676 $a261.2/6 700 $aLevering$b Matthew$f1971-$0869556 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458358803321 996 $aJewish-Christian dialogue and the life of wisdom$91986675 997 $aUNINA
