Given the momentous events of the 1940s\, that is surpr ising. The century from 1820 to 1920\, and the rise of denominationalism i n western Europe\, largely established the axes of modern Judaism along li nes relating to halakhah\, its authority\, and its history. This series wi ll focus on three thinkers who refused to ignore the centrality of the div ine in Judaism: Mordecai M. Kaplan\, Abraham Joshua Heschel and Arthur Gre en. While philosophy often explores ideas about existence and meaning in a bstract terms\, theology insists on grappling directly with the reality of God. In choosing to focus on theology\, this series highlights thinkers f or whom the divine was not an idea to be dissected but a presence to be en countered.
