The Body of Faith, God in the People Israel

The Body of Faith offers an understanding of Judaism through religious sensitivity and philosophical insight. Basing his work on biblical and rabbinic sources, twentieth-century philosophy, and Christian theology, Michael Wyschogrod focuses on the depiction and personification of God. Rather than looking at God as a depersonalized omniscient being, Wyschogrod depicts God as engaged in human history and as a partner in a covenant with the Jewish people.
