	JewishEncyclopedia.com - THEOLOGY: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Jewish theology, therefore, denotes the doctrinal representation of the contents and essence of Jewish religion, the principles on which it rests, and the fundamental truths it endeavors to express and to realize.
		Although the belief in divine retribution is a fundamental doctrine of the Jewish religion, the latter teaches at the same time that neither the expectation of a reward nor the fear of punishment should influence the mind of man in his observance of the divine precepts.
		The selection of the Jewish nation is evidenced in the fact that God found it worthy of a direct manifestation on Mt. Sinai, that He revealed to it religious truths, and that He bestowed upon it the peculiar grace of causing prophets, who should explain these truths, to arise from its midst.

	Theology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Theology was no longer the principle subject and Universities existed for many purposes, not only to train Clergy for established Churches.
		As study of theology in these countries includes a strong (Christian) humanist content, graduates of theology who do not wish to embark on clerical career may find work also in marketing, business or adminstration, although this is frowned upon by many.
		Vaishnava Theology is the theological discourse concerning the Hindu deity Vishnu and/or one of His avatar.

	Holocaust theology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In a rare view that has not been adopted by any sizable element of the Jewish or Christian community, Ignaz Maybaum has proposed that the Holocaust is the ultimate form of vicarious atonement.
		In keeping with regular Supersessionism many of them (especially the Reformed theology camp) believe that God is essentially done with Israel as a nation, and that the Church of true believers has taken Israel's place as the covenant people of God.
		The founding of the State of Israel in 1948, the continued return of dispersed Jews from throughout the world, Israel's victories in five wars since then against overwhelming odds, and the nation's significant economic growth are seen as proofs that the nation is no longer under judgment of Deuteronomy 28.

	Reconstructionist Judaism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In agreement with some classical medieval Jewish thinkers, Kaplan affirmed that God is not personal, and that all anthropomorphic descriptions of God are, at best, imperfect metaphors.
		Kaplan's theology went beyond this to claim that God is the sum of all natural processes that allow man to become self-fulfilled.
		In this latter theology Kaplan still rejects classical forms of theism and any belief in miracles, but holds to a position that in some ways is neo-Platonic.

	Jewish-American Literature
		That radicalism was the reaction to the misery of living in immigrant slums, of the exploitation of the Jewish workers, and the desperation of the Jewish masses.
		Other American Jewish writers who wrote in the Yiddish or the English idiom were Sidney Nyburg, Anzela Yezierska, James Oppenheim, Samuel Ornitz and Ludwig Lewisohn, who was born in the United States, the son of German Jewish immigrants.
		Thus, the popular Jewish writers in the tradition of Roth were accused of being Jewish "anti-semites", producers of filth and self - hatred and conveyors of the same calumnies which the Jews of the old world endured for so long.

	Hanefesh: Jewish Perspective on Jesus
		This statement of God's Oneness is the first words a Jewish child is taught to say, and the last words uttered before a Jew dies.
		In Jewish law, worship of a three-part god is considered idolatry -- one of the three cardinal sins that a Jew should rather give up his life than transgress.
		Jewish spirituality comes through grappling with the mundane world in a way that uplifts and elevates.

	Jewish theology and the animal
		Jewish theologists and scientists have, other than their Christian colleagues, intensively occupied themselves with the animals.
		In Jewish theology more emphasis is put on the resemblance both have -in spite of their decisive difference- as well as on the responsibility of mankind (being stronger) for the animal being weaker and entrusted to his care.
		Answering questions on this matter, a Jewish scientist has put it this way: such farming methods are totally in conflict with the demand "not to make any living creature suffer from pain." Cutting beaks, clipping wings, docking tails etcetera fully offend the Halachic prohibition on the mutilation of animals.

	Jewish Beliefs - ReligionFacts.com
		In general, a person can be considered "Jewish" whether he adheres to a complete system of beliefs about God and the afterlife, holds only a few simple beliefs that give meaning to ritual, or even (at least in liberal Judaism) does not believe in God at all.
		Second, the term "Jewish" can be used to describe a race and a culture rather than a religion, so some who identify themselves as Jewish may have little interest in the beliefs and practices associated with the religion of Judaism.
		Jewish sacred texts and literature have little to say about what happens after death, which may seem surprising to non-Jews since the sacred texts of Christianity and Islam, both of which have their foundations in Judaism, elaborate rather fully about the afterlife.

	CHRISTIANITY IN JEWISH TERMS: A PROJECT TO REDEFINE THE RELATIONSHIP
		This Jewish theology is offered, moreover, in response to efforts by courageous Christians who, in the years since the Shoah, have exposed those aspects of their tradition that helped create Western anti-Semitism and who offered new Christian visions that affirm the rightful place of Jews and Judaism in the cosmic order.
		In post-Holocaust Christian theology, however, a new understanding of the relationship between God and Israel, God and the church, and the church and Israel is being articulated.
		While one starting point is the Jewish concept of the Noahide laws, this is not completely satisfactory, since it is largely a negative formulation and does not specifically address the Christian claim to be in covenant with the same God upon whom Israel calls.

	The Shape of Messianic Jewish Theology (4 units) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		This course introduces the theology curriculum of Messianic Jewish Theological Institute (MJTI) by presenting an overview of the fundamental shape of Messianic Jewish theology.
		The course portrays theology as a framework for integrating our affirmations about God and about our relationship to Him in a way that is both faithful to Revelation and rooted in the life and tradition of a particular community.
		Messianic Jewish theology is unique because it is rooted in the life and tradition of two communities who have a long history of mutual enmity and of distinguishing themselves from one another.

	A Jewish Theology of Covenantal Pluralism
		According to Jewish teaching, this covenant contains only seven commandments: the six prohibitions against murder, theft, sexual wildness, excessive cruelty, blasphemy and idolatry, as well as the positive injunction to live in a society under a system of laws rather than a "jungle" environment.
		If, as Genesis 12 and other biblical passages suggest, the Jewish covenantal commitment is a paradigm for humanity, then it would seem that other peoples are also entitled to their own particular theological commitment (i.e.
		Although this Jewish conception of covenantal pluralism lays the groundwork for multiple sacred covenants that all moral peoples can follow, it is clear that the relationships between Judaism and Christianity and between Jews and Christians are different than between Judaism and other religions.

	Toward a Jewish Theology of Christianity - Scholars' Corner - Institute for Christian and Jewish Studies - ICJS
		While individual Jewish theologians have been struggling with their reevaluations of Christianity, at least one official Jewish body has produced a statement on behalf of its clergy and laity.
		It is true that Jewish and Christian participants come to the dialogue as spokespersons for the respective traditions that have shaped them, not as atomistic individuals who just happen to find themselves connected (and none too closely) to this or that faith community.

		Philosophically: The Jewish view of G-d is that He is Infinite - as are all His attributes.
		Biblically: There is no proof that G-d has ever had a physical existence or is capable of having one.
		Whilst Jewish mysticism may refer to a man's soul as the spark of the Al-mighty, no spark could possibly contain all of a single manifestation (the physical) of G-d without all mankind being called god.

	Amazon.com: Sacred Fragments: Recovering Theology for the Modern Jew: Books: Neil Gillman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A beginners' guide to Jewish theology and to the varying Jewish points of view on a variety of issues, the sort of book that points you to other books that discuss those issues in more detail.
		Although marketed as a general introduction to Jewish theology, Gillman definitely magnifies the "middle-of-the-road" positions, and subtly rejects both the "Orthodox" and "Reconstructionist" theologies without adequately stating their lack of tenability, at least in Gillman's mind.
		The serious reader looking to understand Jewish theology and make a competent choice will definitely want to follow up with a good primer on "Orthodox" theology (which is likely nowhere near as monolithic as Gillman makes it out to be), as well.
