Judaism and the Philosophy of Religion

‘This is a landmark achievement in Jewish philosophy. Characteristically profound and witty, careful and learned, the book no doubt will become a classic of ‘analytic’ Jewish philosophy. Shatz beautifully demonstrates both how Jewish tradition can enrich contemporary philosophy of religion and what it means to do Jewish philosophy as a constructive enterprise.’ Aaron Segal, John and Golda Cohen Chair in Jewish Philosophy, Department of Philosophy, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem‘The depth of Shatz’s insight, and his dazzling erudition, ensure that this book is much more than an entry point into the worlds of Jewish philosophy and philosophy of religion. It also marks a substantial and worthy contribution to those fields, one that experts will rightly treasure.’ Samuel Lebens, Associate Professor of Philosophy, University of Haifa‘In this outstanding book, with wit and clarity, David Shatz uses his impressive erudition and philosophical abilities to deepen our understanding of the major issues in philosophy of religion, from the nature of God to the problem of evil, by bringing to bear on them the riches of the Jewish tradition.’ Eleonore Stump, Robert J. Henle Professor of Philosophy, Saint Louis University
