Critical notice of Jerome Yehuda Gellman, The people, the Torah, the God: a neo-traditional jewish theology. Brookline, MA: Academic Studies Press, 2023. 156 pp. $129.00 (hc)

In this critical review I outline the three main themes of Gellman’s The People, The Torah, The God, and explore the extent to which it lives up to its subtitle, as a “neo-traditional Jewish Theology.” The book is a summary of three volumes of Gellman’s previous work. The summary and the trilogy make an important contribution to contemporary Jewish thought. On some matters, I argue, Gellman’s thinking is more traditional than he realises. But irrespective of whether his theories live up to his own subtitle, they are eminently worthy of our attention.
