Summary

How should Jews see themselves and see others-as united by common humanity and purpose, or divided by something inherent? We Are Not Alone grounds a universalist vision of Judaism in texts and teachings of the tradition, especially those of Maimonides.

We Are Not Alone Summary

We Are Not Alone: A Maimonidean Theology of the Other by Menachem Kellner

Maimonides' Guide of the Perplexed addressed Jews of his day who felt challenged by apparent contradictions between Torah and science. We Are Not Alone: A Maimonidean Theology of the Other uses Maimonides' writings to address Jews of today who are perplexed by apparent contradictions between the morality of the Torah and their conviction that all human beings are created in the image of God and are the object of divine concern, that other religions have value, that genocide is never justified, and that slavery is evil. Individuals who choose to emphasize the moral and universalist elements of Jewish tradition can often find support in positions explicitly held by Maimonides or implied by his teachings. We Are Not Alone offers an ethical and universalist vision of traditionalist Judaism.
