Topics in Jewish Philosophy of Religion
Throughout history, Jewish philosophers have occupied themselves with a range of topics. Some of these topics are closely related to the overarching concerns of monotheistic philosophers. Others pertain particularly to Judaism. Additionally, the contribution of some Jewish philosophers to general philosophy is well-known, though discussions of the Jewish dimensions of their thought in journals of philosophy remain relatively little. This Archives Issue takes the opportunity to introduce some of the best works on Jewish philosophy that have appeared in Religious Studies, hoping to provide a fair idea about some of the topics that have engrossed Jewish philosophers in different intellectual periods and their underlying philosophical and Jewish or religious dimensions.
