"The term Ethical Monotheism is an important marker in Judaism's tumultuous transition
into the modern era. The term emerged in the context of culture-wars concerning the
question of whether or not Jews could or should become emancipated citizens of modern
European states. It appeared in arguments whether or not Judaism could be considered
a Religion of Reason--a symbolic, motivational representation of a universal morality,
and in debates about whether or not Judaism could or should reform itself into a Religion
of Reason. This book is both a decisive departure from such discussions and an attempt
to add a further, post-modern, statement to their ongoing development. As departure,
it refuses to take for granted a philosophical conception of Religion of Reason as
the standard for Ethical Monotheism according to which Judaism was to be evaluated
or reformed. As continuation, the book undertakes a phenomenology of Jewish modes
of ethical religiosity that allows it to inquire what kind of ethical monotheism Judaism
might be. Through sophisticated analysis of select "snapshots," or "fragments of a
hologram," guided by a robust theory of religion, the author discloses Judaic ethical
monotheism as an ongoing wrestling with the meaning of justice. By closely examining
five main "snapshots" of this long process--the Bible, rabbinic Judaism, Maimonides,
The Zohar, and the modern philosophers, Buber and Levinas--the author offers his own
constructive philosophy of Judaism and his own distinctive philosophy of religion"
