Perfect Goodness and the God of the Jews

“The attractive thing about this book is its intellectual humility: the author suggests, he does not insist. For anyone interested in Jewish ideas about God, it will prove a stimulating… read.”

— John Barton, Journal of Modern Jewish Studies

“In this third book in his series on Jewish theology in the modern age, Gellman, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Ben-Gurion University, continues the adaptations of traditional Jewish responses to the questions surrounding Jewish theology. This book deals with the issue of whether God can be fully ‘good’ given the objections to Biblical texts which portray actions by God that are today held to be immoral. … This book is highly recommended mainly for academic libraries with collections that seek to collect books on Jewish theology, philosophy and ethics.”
