Recenzii
The Holy One of Israel is Goodman's most compelling statement yes of his thesis that God and the Good are coextensive. God is the source of goodness we experience as recipients of the gift of being and of life and mind far beyond our prior deserts. And God is the standard whose goodness we are called to emulate and whose presence and sovereignty in the world we are called to strengthen. In its scope, ambition, and intellectual heft, dexterity, and vision, this work is nothing less than a twenty-first century Guide for the Perplexed. Jewish philosophy will never be the same.
The voice of the prophet is not stilled to this day. In this work, Lenn Goodman synthesizes piety and poetry, theology and ethics, in a most compelling way. It is in God's loving-kindness and creatures' response that Goodman finds the biblical key to both religion and science, personal virtue and the evolution of the natural world. The result is a unified Judaic field theory in the tradition of Maimonides and Spinoza, an extraordinary achievement relevant to anyone concerned with truth, goodness and beauty.
This vitally important book masterfully integrates Torah and logos, mind and character, poetry and science--really, all of the fundamental dimensions of human experience--as it illuminates the unity of transcendence and immanence in the Judaic God. More than nourishment for the intellect, The Holy One of Israel buoyed and invigorated this reader's heart.
