Radical Judaism

Rethinking God and Tradition

Arthur Green,

About this book

How do we articulate a religious vision that embraces evolution and human authorship of Scripture? Drawing on the Jewish mystical traditions of Kabbalah and Hasidism, path-breaking Jewish scholar Arthur Green argues that a neomystical perspective can help us to reframe these realities, so they may yet be viewed as dwelling places of the sacred. In doing so, he rethinks such concepts as God, the origins and meaning of existence, human nature, and revelation to construct a new Judaism for the twenty-first century.

Rabbi Arthur Green is professor and rector of the Rabbinical School of Hebrew College in Newton, MA.

Hebrew 

Bible, 

and

thus 

of

Jewish 

and

Christian 

faith. 

I

use

this 

term

even 

though 

I

mean 

it

in

a

way

that 

is

quite 

different 

from 

that 

meant

by

most 

Jews 

and

Christians, 

since 

I

say

quite 

openly 

that 

I

choose 

it

in

order 

to

personify 

this 

underlying 

singularity 

of

being. 

As

‘‘the

One’’ 

becomes 

personal, 

‘‘Being’’ 

(HWYH 

in

Hebrew) 

becomes

‘‘God’’ 

(Y-H-W-H). 

That 

which 

I

designate 

as

‘‘the 

One’’ 

remains

beyond 

naming; 

it

is

none 

other 

than 

transcendent 

mystery. 

My

act

of

naming, 

my

insistence 

on

speaking 

of

(and 

to)

the

core 

of

scientiﬁc

reality 

in

a

religious 

manner 

is

intended 

as

an

act

of

mythopoetic

transformation, 

a

remythologization 

of

the

cosmos 

for

our

postmod-

ern

age. 

In

order 

to

understand 

the

context 

in

which 

I

am

doing 

this,

we

need 

to

know 

a

good 

deal 

more 

about 

the

Western 

use

of

the

word

‘‘God’’ 

and

its

history.
