Perfect Goodness and the God of the Jews: A Contemporary Jewish Theology (Contemporary Religious and Theological Studies) - Hardcover
Synopsis
ENG:
That the God of the Hebrew Bible and rabbinic literature, "the God of the Jews," is perfectly good is challenged by apparently immoral acts of that God, by contemporary standards, as well as by the classic problem of evil. In this book, Jerome Gellman aims to alleviate the first challenge, the so-called ideological critique, for the traditional believer by recommending replacing the God of the Jews with a different God, a "Jewish God," one in whom many traditional Jews have come to believe. And the problem of evil is lightened for the traditional believer, mainly by a possible theodicy explaining much evil. The book is at once analytic in style and Hasidic in broad orientation.
RUS:
Абсолютная благость Бога древнееврейской Библии и раввинистической литературы — «Бога евреев» — нередко ставится под сомнение. Критика исходит как из сферы морали, где Его поступки воспринимаются как противоречащие универсальным человеческим нормам, так и в связи с «аргументом от зла», утверждающим, что количество зла в мире перевешивает любое добро. Обращаясь прежде всего к религиозному читателю, Джером Геллман стремится преодолеть первую из этих трудностей — так называемую идеологическую критику, — предлагая заменить образ «Бога евреев» на «еврейского Бога», в Которого верят последователи иудаизма. Вторая проблема — теодицея — получает у Геллмана новое осмысление, укорененное в еврейской философской и этической мысли.
Книга написана в аналитическом ключе, но при этом вдохновлена богословскими моделями хасидизма.
