Item description from seller

Octavo. xiii, (1), 145, (1)pp. Selected bibliography. Black over light blue boards, photo of Borowitz on front cover. A fine, as new copy. Rethinking God and Ethics presents influential essays by Borowitz and explains his contribution to Jewish religious thought in the 20th century. (Publisher) Eugene B. Borowitz is Sigmund L. Falk Distinguished Professor of Education and Jewish Religious Thought at Hebrew Union College in New York. A rabbi, teacher of rabbis, and a theologian, Borowitz has been an important spokesperson for non-Orthodox forms of Judaism, Reform Judaism in particular. Over seven decades, Borowitz has explored the centrality of God in Jewish existence, the normative force of Jewish law, the meaning of the Covenant, the distinctiveness of Jewish life, and the meaning of Jewish personhood for non-Orthodox Jews. Adopting the language of religious existentialism, he has reflected on the relational nature of human existence, on the one hand, and human self-determination on the other. (Publisher) Contents: Editors' Introduction to Series; Eugene B. Borowitz: An Intellectual Portrait; Why I Am a Theologian Rather than a Philosopher; The Jewish Need for Theology; Through the Shadowed Valley; The Autonomous Jewish Self; 'Im ba'et, eyma-Since You Object, Let Me Put It This Way; Editors' Interview with Eugene B. Borowitz; Select Bibliography. (OCLC) Brill's "Library of Contemporary Jewish Philosophers," Volume 4.
