About the Book

David Novak, one of the most distinguished Jewish theologians in the world, offers a new interpretation of how the Jewish people and the Jewish tradition talk about God.

What does the Torah say about God? How does the God of the Torah talk about Godself? And how does the God of the Torah talk about human beings?

The book traces the history and theology of God-talk in Judaism, and how it remains relevant, now more than ever, and speaks directly to contemporary issues such as human rights.
