Reviving Jewish Theology
This essay is my contribution to the project of reviving Jewish theology as an enterprise in which language and thought make positive statements about God. This project is necessitated by what I see as the failures of the negative or “apophatic theologies” of postmodernism to generate and support a vibrant Jewish religious life. My strategy is to retrieve from medieval philosophy what I call a “soft metaphysics” as a framework and series of axiom…
Introduction to New Work in Jewish Theology
Despite a significant period where Jewish theology was little discussed, there has been renewed interest in the subject of God and theology in scholarly circles of Jewish studies.

Reasoning after revelation
In Reasoning After Revelation: Dialogues in Postmodern Jewish Philosophy, three preeminent Jewish thinkers debate the form and meaning of Jewish philosophy now that the great secular ideologies of modern western civilization have lost their hegemony. Emulating the methods and the premises of Talmudic argument, the authors present their responses as dialogues joined by a common love of the rabbinic tradition of biblical commentary and interpretati…
