Beschreibung

Most major contemporary religions have been absolved of the charge of idolatry. What remains of "idolatry" once it no longer serves as a tool for evaluating other faiths? Does the category continue to have theological appeal? A cadre of Jewish scholars and thought leaders explore in this volume what the continuing relevance of "idolatry" is.

Über den Autor

Rabbi Dr. Alon Goshen-Gottstein is acknowledged as one of the world's leading figures in interreligious dialogue. He is founder and director of the Elijah Interfaith Institute since 1997. His work bridges the theological and academic dimension with a variety of practical initiatives, especially involving world religious leadership. His academic work is divided between contributions to early rabbinic thought, Jewish spirituality, interfaith theory and Jewish theology of religions. He has held academic posts at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv University, and has served as director of the Center for the Study of Rabbinic Thought, Beit Morasha College, Jerusalem. The present volume continues his ground-breaking work in the field of Jewish theology of religions by convening conversations among Jewish thought leaders on seminal issues, complementing his earlier work Judaism's Challenge: Election, Divine Love and Human Enmity (2020, Academic Studies Press).
