It is through the symbolic forms of language that the human world of value is revealed--this is where religious scholar Michael Fishbane dwells in his latest contribution to Jewish thought. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eFragile Finitude\u003c\/i\u003e, Fishbane clears new ground for a theological life through a novel reinterpretation of the Book of Job. On this basis, he offers a contemporary engagement with the four classical types of Jewish Scriptural exegesis. The first focuses on worldly experience, the second on communal forms of practice and thought in the rabbinical tradition, the third on personal development, and the fourth on transcendent, cosmic orientations. Through these four modes, Fishbane manages to transform Jewish theology from within, at once reinvigorating a long tradition and moving beyond it. What he offers is nothing short of a way to reorient our lives in relation to the divine and our fellow humans. Written from within the Jewish tradition, \u003ci\u003eFragile Finitude\u003c\/i\u003e is intended for readers across the religious spectrum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Fishbane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022676415X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226764153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Michael Fishbane","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43986572083455,"sku":"9780226764153","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bcc478b8-f089-4a87-b395-5849f555ca92.jpg?v=1683284143","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fragile-finitude-michael-fishbane-9780226764153","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
