Rethinking Jewish Theology

Abstract

This short essay takes an exploratory approach to redefining Jewish theology. I will offer a brief reflection on both possible philosophical—through the concepts of participation, truth, and textuality—and theological—around the categories of philosophy of religion, propositional Jewish theologies, and Jewish theology—frameworks for it. Ultimately, I attempt to highlight that religious practice is essential for a significant exercise of Jewish theology in a Jewish context and, simultaneously, that theological meditation is fundamental for a meaningful Jewish journey.
