For political and philosophical reasons, both scholars of Judaism and Jewish thinkers have sought to minimize the role of theology in Judaism. This book constructs a new model for understanding Jewish theological language that emphasizes the central role of theological reflection in Judaism and the close relationship between theological reflection and religious practice in the Jewish tradition. Drawing on diverse philosophical resources, Fisher's model of Jewish theology embraces the multiple forms and functions of Jewish theological language. Fisher demonstrates the utility of this model by undertaking close readings of an early rabbinic commentary on the book of Exodus (\u003ci\u003eMekhilta of Rabbi Ishmael \u003c\/i\u003e) and a work of modern philosophical theology (Franz Rosenzweig's \u003ci\u003eThe Star of Redemption\u003c\/i\u003e). These readings advance the discussion of theology in rabbinics and modern Jewish thought and provide resources for constructive Jewish theology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCass Fisher is an Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the University of South Florida.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9.1 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 11, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45868262293701,"sku":"9780804776646","price":149.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/SNoOHtzx79780804776646.webp?v=1781303093","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/contemplative-nation-a-philosophical-account-of-jewish-theological-language-hardcover","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
