Descriptions
 
An intimate and candid examination of the changing nature of belief and where it can lead usfrom the life experience of one of Judaisms leading thinkers.
For over five decades, Rabbi Neil Gillman has helped people think through the most challenging questions at the heart of being a believing religious person. In this intimate rethinking of his own theological journey he explores the changing nature of belief and the complexities of reconciling the intellectual, emotional and moral questions of his own searching mind and soul.
If what we have in recognizing, speaking of and experiencing God is a wide-ranging treasury of humanly crafted metaphors, what, then, is the ultimate reality, the ultimate nature of God? What lies beyond the metaphors?
If humanity was an active partner in revelationif the human community participated in what was revealed and gave it meaningwhat then should be the authority of Jewish law?
How do we copeintellectually, emotionally and morallywith suffering, the greatest challenge to our faith commitment, relationship with God and sense of a fundamentally ordered world?
Death is inevitable but why is it built in as part of the total life experience?
