New Directions in Jewish Theology

Introduction

We are currently in the midst of a rich flourishing of constructive Jewish theology. From renewed engagements with classical philosophical sources to innovative feminist and queer theologies, from suggestive appropriations of kabbalistic thought to a burgeoning movement in Jewish analytic theology, the Jewish theological conversation has rarely been more diverse or more lively. This issue of the Journal of Textual Reasoning offers a contribution to this conversation. Featuring a lead essay by Steven Kepnes proposing a positive theological realism, incisive responses from a theologically diverse group of Jewish thinkers, and book reviews of recent works of Jewish theology, this issue presents a symposium that explores the perils and possibilities of the present moment in Jewish theology.
