		Gillman was one of the members of the Conservative movement's commission which produced Emet Ve-Emunah ("Truth and Faith"), the first official statement of beliefs of Conservative Judaism.
		Gillman teaches that it is a cardinal error to hold that God literally speaks like a human, and that many traditional understandings of revelation are thus inadvertantly idolatry, Avodah Zarah.
		Gillman gave a speech in which he said that Conservative Judaism should not be described as a halakhic movement.

	Amazon.de: Death of Death PB: Resurrection and Immortality in Jewish Thought: English Books: Neil Gillman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Gillman, a professor of Jewish philosophy at the Jewish Theological Seminary, takes on death, at least as an intellectual exercise, and offers an interesting survey of the topic in the context of Jewish religious thought.
		Throughout, Gillman compares and contrasts the doctrines of bodily resurrection and spiritual immortality, whose competition for preeminence has caused tension in the ring of Jewish eschatology.
		Gillman's writing style is workmanlike, but his organization and knowledge of history are excellent, making this a good starting point for anyone interested in the topic.

	A Dip into the Deistic \| The Jewish Exponent
		Twenty-five years ago, Gillman explains, he was asked by the seminary to serve as one of three regular contributors to "The Sabbath Week" column that runs in The Jewish Week.
		Gillman was to be the voice of Conservative Judaism, joining Rabbis Shlomo Riskin and Lawrence Hoffman, who were set to represent Orthodox and Reform Judaism respectively.
		Gillman seems happy that he didn't feel the need to tamper with his prose, and it's commendable that so much of it is striking, considering the exigencies of writing a column, even if you have three weeks between each one (only those who write on deadline will understand what's at stake here).

		Although Gillman entertains the possibility that foreign influence was at least partly responsible for the development of resurrection belief, he seems to lean towards it being a natural outgrowth of core Jewish belief.
		As we move beyond the Old Testament, Gillman continues tracing Jewish beliefs, noting the introduction of the concept of the immortality of the spirit.
		Gillman then charts the "Canonization" of bodily resurrection in Jewish thought through the Talmud and into the Middle Ages.

		In calling for a new vision at the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism’s biennial in Boston, Rabbi Neil Gillman, professor of Jewish philosophy at the Jewish Theological Seminary, argued that calling itself a halachic movement is intellectually dishonest and has failed to inspire increased religious commitment of congregants.
		Rabbi Gillman in his keynote address also stressed the healthy tension that exists within a Conservative Jew — between history and modernity, between the letter and the spirit of the law, between wanting answers and embracing ambiguity.
		Rabbi Gillman said there is little difference between the religious practice of Conservative and Reform Jews outside the synagogue, and that “if we are a halachic community, it has to be because we want to be, not because we have to be.

		Third, readers should be aware that Rabbi Gillman is on the faculty of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, and served on the commission that drafted the 1988 Statement of Principles of Conservative Judaism.
		Rabbi Gillman admits that he is a partisan of the Conservative solution to the dilemma of practicing Judaism in the modern world, but he is generally fair and unbiased in his discussion of the other movements (although like most non-Orthodox he is unhappy with the role of the Orthodox rabbis in Israel).
		Rabbi Gillman's ultimate concern is with how to nurture a community of committed Jews in the modern world, and that concern informs every page of this informative and thought-provoking book.

		Based on courses that Rabbi Gillman taught at the Jewish Theological Seminary, it offers a lucid account of current Jewish religious beliefs and doctrines across the entire spectrum, from supernaturalist Orthodoxy on the right to naturalist Reconstructionism on the left.
		Key topics such as God's existence, revelation, theodicy, religious authority, ritual, prayer, and eschatology are fascinatingly explored.
		Gillman's own views, which favor a middle-of-the-road existentialist approach, do not preclude objective analyses of differing viewpoints.

		In this special book, Rabbi Neil Gillman guides Christians through the different ways the Jewish people have related to God, how each originated, and what each may mean for Christians and their understandings of their own faith.
		Gillman addresses questions of particular importance to Christian readers, such as: How does sin stand in the way of knowing God?
		By exploring the Jewish ways of encountering God, Gillman helps all readers to understand what the search itself says about Jewish tradition and how people of other faiths can use the fundamentals of Judaism to strengthen, explore, and deepen their own spiritual foundations.

		In The Death of Death, noted theologian Neil Gillman offers readers an original and compelling argument that Judaism, a religion often thought to pay little attention to the afterlife, delivers a deathblow to death itself.
		Combining astute scholarship with keen historical, theological, and liturgical insights, Gillman traces the evolution of Jewish thought about death and the afterlife.
		From Judaism' s original belief not only in the afterlife but in bodily resurrection, to later ambivalence about resurrection and reincarnation, today, somewhat surprisingly, more contemporary Jewish scholars including Gillman have unabashedly returned to the notion of bodily resurrection.
