Reviewing the Covenant: Eugene B. Borowitz and the Postmodern Revival of Jewish Theology

In Reviewing the Covenant, six Jewish philosophers -- and one Christian colleague -- respond to the work of the renowned Jewish theologian Eugene Borowitz, one of the leading figures in the movement of "postmodern" Jewish philosophy and theology. The title recalls Borowitz's earlier book, Renewing the Covenant: A Theology for the Postmodern Jew, in which he lent this movement a theological agenda, and the essays in this book respond to Borowitz's call: to revitalize contemporary Judaism by renewing the covenant that binds modern Jews to re-live and re-interpret the traditions of Judaism's past.
