The Election of Israel: The Idea of the Chosen People (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780521044820)

Novak conducts an historical, philosophical, and theological reflection on the central Jewish doctrine of Israel's election by God, known as the idea of the chosen people. He analyses the great change in modern Jewish thought brought about by Spinoza's inversion of the doctrine: that it was not God that elected Israel, but vice versa.
