Given the mome ntous events of the 1940s\, that is surprising. The century from 1820 to 1 920\, and the rise of denominationalism in western Europe\, largely establ ished the axes of modern Judaism along lines relating to halakhah\, its au thority\, and its history. This series will focus on three thinkers who re fused to ignore the centrality of the divine in Judaism: Mordecai M. Kapla n\, Abraham Joshua Heschel and Arthur Green. While philosophy often explor es ideas about existence and meaning in abstract terms\, theology insists on grappling directly with the reality of God. In choosing to focus on the ology\, this series highlights thinkers for whom the divine was not an ide a to be dissected but a presence to be encountered.
