The Oxford Handbook of Deuteronomy
The Oxford Handbook of Deuteronomy is a gateway to what legal traditions teach about the cultural identity and social world of the people of YHWH—how they thought about themselves and about their world and how they faced and resolved the challenges of daily life. Readers today will certainly not find that all these ancient resolutions reflect their values, but the process of problem-solving and crisis resolution in Deuteronomy continues to inspir…
Tracing the Contours of a Half Century of Jewish Feminist Theology
This essay examines the trajectory of Jewish feminist theology from the 1970s to today. It uses a synthetic, thematic approach, distilling concerns that appear across generically diverse theological writings over the last half century. These themes include the authority of Jewish classical texts and ritual practice, the meaning of embodiment, and the potential of theologies of immanence.

Lionel Trilling’s Jewish “Reverberation” of February 1944
In February 1944, the Contemporary Jewish Record published the responses of eleven young Jewish intellectuals under forty to questions about their identity as Jews. The most “visceral” and rancorous response, rationalizing his “ minimal” Jewish involvement, came from Lionel Trilling. The fact that Trilling, nearing age forty, responded at all and responded so viscerally seemed out of character. Trilling in his writing and persona was known as gra…
