Recenzii
David Novak has the learning and the courage to voice his Judaic commitments clearly here: Long immersed in the Aggadic literature that is the vehicle of Judaic theology, he is ready to elicit from its texts, classical and modern, what he finds (and is prepared to argue) that Judaism calls on Jews to see and hear and think about God ... With him as a guide, [readers] too will find themselves at home and will gain a judgment like his, that will enable them to journey and grow all the stronger and more independent spiritually.
What might be involved in a truthful universal discourse about God - God-talk, theo-logy in the best sense? David Novak here integrates major themes from his previous explorations of natural law, public ethics, interreligious dialogue, Zionism, theology, and halakhah. This learned but eminently accessible volume speaks from the heart of orthodox Jewish tradition. Yet it also offers a public-facing approach to fundamental theology that is philosophical, rational and eminently accessible to other expressions of faith. Respectfully answering secular atheological perspectives, Novak articulates religious God-talk in a manner that is clear but winsome and engaging, even to those who will disagree. His twentieth book is vintage Novak: a masterful theological synthesis of his work that surely deserves to become a classic.
David Novak's God-Talk is at once timely and needful to any soul that hungers for meaning, as the body hungers for bread. Beautifully written and profoundly insightful, this book demonstrates that silence on God reduces God to an empty silence. His deft outline of the history of God in Jewish tradition opens the way to a future not only for the Jewish tradition but also for the light that the Jews are to the nations. This book is, indeed a light unto the nations and a testimony to the depth and the beauty of the Jewish tradition, without which all of humanity is turned over to darkness.
David Novak's God-Talk presents a sophisticated Jewish philosophical theology by a premier Jewish thinker. Throughout his career, Novak has written influentially about Jewish law, ethics, and political theory. God-Talk provides the theological underpinnings for these practical endeavors, arguing for a particular methodology and deploying it to understand what can now be said about God, what experience of God can be anticipated in the future, and its practical implications for Jewish law and human rights in the present. Instead of substituting philosophy for theology, it utilizes philosophy to interpret the word of God. God-Talk is the complete statement of Novak's theology, which should be of interest to professional theologians and philosophers as well as by thinking believers in both the Christian and Jewish faiths.
David Novak, in God-Talk, places theology at the heart of Judaism by construing it on covenantal terms that link theology to Jewish practice. Understanding theology as a normative enterprise that arises out of revelation and provides its cognitive support, Novak demonstrates the important contribution theology makes to Jewish religious observance. The clarity and erudition of his argument will benefit those interested in Jewish theology from the rabbinic to the modern period.
This book argues against secular forms of Judaism, that God is of central importance to Judaism, and consequently that God " talk," what God reveals about Himself in the Bible, what human beings can speculate theologically about God, and what Judaism says human beings can properly say about themselves to God in prayer-is "the heart of Judaism." It is evident from his latest book that Rabbi Dr. Novak, an emeritus chair of Jewish Studies at the University of Toronto and president of the Union for Traditional Judaism, is steeped in the biblical-rabbinical tradition and also in philosophical theology. In the five essays that comprise the book, Rabbi Novak considers God in a variety of contexts... This deep and sophisticated book can help readers think about, and draw closer to, God. This volume is recommended for public and academic libraries.
David Novak gives a rigorous account of how Jews, drawing on their tradition, can engage in God-talk.
