He recommends replacing a God of the Jews with a different God, a \"Jewish God,\" one in whom many traditional Jews have come to believe. Gellman also offers the traditional believer a possible theodicy explaining much evil.The book is at once analytic in style and Hasidic in broad orientation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"This book is highly recommended mainly for academic libraries with collections that seek to collect books on Jewish theology, philosophy and ethics.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e - AJL Reviews\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Theological Method\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Perfectly Good Being\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe God of the Jews\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ideological Critique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Argument from Evil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Humility Response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResponse to the Present-Day Ideological Critique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHasidic Panpsychism: \"A Portion of God from Above\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Multiverse: A Possible Theodicy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Academic Studies Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359757238615,"sku":"9781618118387","price":78.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781618118387.jpg?v=1754125617","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/perfect-goodness-and-the-god-of-the-jews-a-contemporary-jewish-theology-9781618118387","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
