Analytic philosophy of religion is a vibrant area of inquiry, but it has generally focused on generic forms of theism or on Christianity. David Shatz here offers a new and fresh approach to the field in a wide-ranging and engaging introduction to the analytic philosophy of religion from the perspective of Judaism. Exploring classical Jewish texts about philosophical topics in light of the concepts and arguments at the heart of analytic philosophy, he demonstrates how each tradition illuminates the other, yielding a deeper understanding of both Jewish sources and general philosophical issues. Shatz also advances growing efforts to imagine Jewish philosophy not only as an engrossing, invaluable part of Jewish intellectual history, but also as a creative, constructive enterprise that mines the methods and literature of contemporary philosophy. His book offers new pathways to think deeply about God, evil, morality, freedom, ethics, and religious diversity, among other topics.

'This is a landmark achievement in Jewish philosophy. Characteristically profound and witty, careful and learned, the book no doubt will become a classic of 'analytic' Jewish philosophy. Shatz beautifully demonstrates both how Jewish tradition can enrich contemporary philosophy of religion and what it means to do Jewish philosophy as a constructive enterprise.' Aaron Segal, John and Golda Cohen Chair in Jewish Philosophy, Department of Philosophy, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
