About This Book

How do we articulate a religious vision that embraces evolution and human authorship of Scripture? Drawing on the Jewish mystical traditions of Kabbalah and Hasidism, path-breaking Jewish scholar Arthur Green argues that a neomystical perspective can help us to reframe these realities, so they may yet be viewed as dwelling places of the sacred. In doing so, he rethinks such concepts as God, the origins and meaning of existence, human nature, and revelation to construct a new Judaism for the twenty-first century.

Rabbi Arthur Green is professor and rector of the Rabbinical School of Hebrew College in Newton, MA.

Hebrew 
Bible, 
and 
thus 
of 
Jewish 
and 
Christian 
faith. 
I 
use 
this 
term
even 
though 
I 
mean 
it 
in 
a 
way 
that 
is 
quite 
different 
from 
that 
meant
by 
most 
Jews 
and 
Christians, 
since 
I 
say 
quite 
openly 
that 
I 
choose 
it
in 
order 
to
personify 
this 
underlying 
singularity 
of 
being. 
As 
‘‘the
One’’ 
becomes 
personal, 
‘‘Being’’ 
(HWYH 
in 
Hebrew) 
becomes
‘‘God’’ 
(Y-H-W-H). 
That 
which 
I 
designate 
as 
‘‘the 
One’’ 
remains
beyond 
naming; 
it 
is 
none 
other 
than 
transcendent 
mystery. 
My 
act 
of
naming, 
my 
insistence 
on 
speaking 
of 
(and 
to) 
the 
core 
of 
scientic
reality 
in 
a 
religious 
manner 
is 
intended 
as 
an 
act 
of 
mythopoetic
transformation, 
a 
remythologization 
of 
the 
cosmos 
for 
our 
postmod-
ern 
age. 
In 
order 
to 
understand 
the 
context 
in 
which 
I 
am 
doing 
this,
we 
need 
to 
know 
a 
good 
deal 
more 
about 
the 
Western 
use 
of 
the 
word
‘‘God’’ 
and 
its 
history.
