Description for Judaism, Liberalism, and Political Theology
Paperback.
Judaism, Liberalism, and Political Theology provides the first broad encounter between modern Jewish thought and recent developments in political theology. In opposition to impetuous associations of Judaism and liberalism and charges that Judaism cannot engender a universal political order, the essays in this volume propose a new and richly detailed engagement between Judaism and the political. The vexed status of liberalism in Jewish thought and Judaism in political theology is interrogated with recourse to thinking from across the Continental tradition.

The selection of participants has been judiciously made, and they contribute effectively to clarifying the multifaceted problem that unfolds."—Bettina Bergo, Université de Montréal "This collection of essays, which examines political theology from the distinct perspective of Jewish philosophy, could not be timelier or more useful for scholars and students navigating what is often viewed as very dense and difficult material."—Claire Elise Katz, Texas A&M University
