Theological and Philosophical Premises of Judaism

The book explores the distinct worldview of Classical Judaism, highlighting Israel's unique position compared to other nations. It contrasts the perceived hopelessness of secular time and space for non-Israelites with the sacred, enchanted existence of Israel, under constant divine observation. The text delves into Rabbinic Judaism's theology, portraying God as omniscient and deeply invested in Israel's conduct, fostering a sense of eternal present and hierarchical social order centered around the divine. This perspective emphasizes Israel's special relationship with God and its exceptional spiritual landscape.
