Jewish Religion After Theology

Focusing on a significant transformation in modern Jewish thought, the book examines the shift from metaphysical theology to a practice-based philosophy. Central to this exploration is Isaiah Leibowitz, whose ideas epitomize a religion devoid of metaphysical underpinnings. Various chapters delve into themes such as observance, pluralism, and the concept of penance in a post-Holocaust context, highlighting the pragmatic approaches to theodicy and the diverse implications of this philosophical evolution within Judaism.
