On the Theories of 'Ibdā' and Ta'Thīr
But the God in whom man was thus to find his own fulfilment was, as has been pointed out, not one God but two. He was the Idea of the Good, but he was also the Idea of Goodness; and though the second attribute was nominally deduced dialectically from the first, no two notions could be more antithetic. The one was an apotheosis of unity, self-sufficiency, and quietude, the other of diversity, self-transcendence, and fecundity... The one God was th…

This article traces such a re-interpretation from the pen of Hoter ben Shelomo, a Jewish fifteenth-century savant from Yemen. Hoter began by rejecting the anthropomorphisms of the vision. This forced him into a symbolic interpretation in…

Where Does “Jewish Studies” Belong
The problem of the proper location of “Jewish Studies” continues to occupy the academic community. To resolve it scholars must recognize that “Jewish Studies” is a data-field, that various disciplines can be applied to the data-field, and that the constellation of disciplines called “Religious Studies” offers the most apt methodology for dealing with the data The intra-traditional mode of study, “Talmud Torah,” is contrasted with the extra-tradit…
