Naming God: Prayers of Awe

Editat de Lawrence A. Hoffman
en Limba Engleză Paperback
An in-depth exploration of the complexities-and perhaps audacity-of naming the unnameable. Almost forty contributors from all Jewish denominations and from around the world wrestle with Avinu Malkeinu and the linguistic and spiritual conundrum it presents, asking, "How do we name God altogether, without recourse to imagery that defies belief?"
