Creation and the Persistence of Evil - The Jewish Drama of Divine Omnipotence

About the author

Jon D. Levenson

Summary

Brings to a wide audience one of the most innovative and meaningful models of God for this post-Auschwitz era. In a return to the original Hebrew conception of God, which questions accepted conceptions of divine omnipotence, this title defines God's authorship of the world as a consequence of his victory in his struggle with evil.
