| Summary: | 'Fragile Finitude' is an original work of contemporary Jewish theology, philosophy, and hermeneutics, achieved through a creative, innovative appropriation of traditional Jewish Bible interpretation at four interconnected levels: plain, historical sense, peshat; legal and theological rabbinic exegesis, derash; philosophical or ethical practices of self-development, remez; and mystical vision or cosmic consciousness, sod. These four dimensions tally with four levels of theological and lived experience, and each is explored with specific texts and interpretations, producing a multidimensional spectrum of theological engagements with life and experience. |
