The author sets out to rigorously yet sensitively investigate some of the basic concepts and principles of classical Judaism. The topics addressed range from the familiar-"Is God Knowable?" and "Justifying Religious Belief"-to the unusual-"Judaism and the Aesthetic," "Does Judaism Have a Theory of Self?" and "Does Messianism Imply Inevitability?" Current issues are not neglected, and are addressed in sections such as "Religious Zionism: What is it?" and "The Ethical Theory of Judaism." While critical and analytic throughout, the author's style is clear and uncluttered and uses arguments to convince rather than to impress. Neither apologetic nor unnecessarily provocative, Shubert Spero provides a fresh approach to the neglected yet vital domain of Jewish theology. 606 $aReligion / Philosophy$2bisacsh 606 $aReligion / Judaism / Theology$2bisacsh 606 $aReligion 610 $aJewish studies. 610 $aJudaism. 610 $aReligion. 610 $aTheology. 610 $aZionism. 615 7$aReligion / Philosophy 615 7$aReligion / Judaism / Theology 615 0$aReligion 700 $aSpero$b Shubert, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01122247 702 $aSpero$b Shubert 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996472045903316 996 $aNew Perspectives in Theology of Judaism$92846019 997 $aUNISA
