Almighty? No way! - Jewish article on process
Posted on: 12/05/2011 17:55
A news item on Process and Faith pointed me to the article below. It's by a Rabbi and talks about his discovery of, and Jewish perspective on, process theology. It explains his take on process fairly clearly without too much academic philosophy-speak (but with some Hebrew). Given how process usually comes up in a Christian context around here, I thought that the Jewish perspective given here might be interesting for others to read.

Poop, that's a long URL. Sorry, should have done it as a link if I'd realized it would stretch that far. Still works if you click it though.

I never really thought about it, but Judaism has its fair share of process theologians. Heschel would be a process theologian.So would Mordecai Kaplan... Kushner would likely be considered a process guy too. I know Sandra Lubarsky and Lori Jacobs, feminists in Judaism, would be process theologians....

SG,
How about Harold Bloom?

Not sure where he would fit in, but used to read some of the writings of Rabbi Michael Lerner. He seems to be a very progressive thinker.

Certainly, WaterBouy.
"Theology necessarily is a system of methaphors, and doctrine represents its literalization.
I am inclined to believe that the best poetry, whatever its intentions, is a kind of theology, while theology generally is bad poetry." ------ Harold Bloom
