Doing Jewish Theology - Neil (Rabbi Neil Gillman) Gillman - Bog

With clarity and passion, Neil Gillman, respected scholar, theologian and winner of the National Jewish Book award, gives us extraordinary insights into Jewish identity, theology and our relationship with God.Gillman examines the central themes of Judaism to distill the spiritual and theological questions that face us all:How can we know anything about God?What can Judaism teach us about God?What is the source of authority for what we believe and how we live as Jews today?What is Torah and why is it sacred?What, if any, is God''s role in human suffering?What happens to us after we die?He, also, traces his own evolution from a more traditional background to a liberal - if not radical - Jewish theologian and how this development has contributed to his pursuit of a coherent and consistent ideology for his demonination, the Conservative movement.
