Is Judaism a timeless, universal set of beliefs or, rather, is it historical and contingent in its relation to different times and places? Do Jewish beliefs derive their meaning from texts and revelation or from rational argument and experience? This title addresses major Jewish thinkers who have wrestled with the moral and theological dilemmas.

Fackenheim's Jewish Philosophy explores the most important themes of Fackenheim's philosophical and religious thought and how these remained central, if not always in immutable ways, over his entire career.

Focusing on the problem of objectivity, the experience of the transcendent, and the relationship between redemption and politics, this title argues that the outcome for Jews is a pragmatic style of religiosity that has abandoned traditional conceptions of Judaism and is searching for new ones, a condition that he describes as 'interim Judaism'.
