Painting a composite picture of Judaism from its beginnings until today, Goshen-Gottstein draws on history, literature, theology, spirituality, and practiced religious life to craft an overview in which these different parts are appreciated as pieces of a larger whole.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeyond the canonical foundations of the Bible and the Talmud, Goshen-Gottstein incorporates mystical sources in presenting an image of spiritually engaged Jewish practice and belief. He thus argues that Judaism is best understood as a religious tradition that seeks to uphold not only a life lived in allegiance to God's law but, more importantly, a life lived in God's presence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten by a senior scholar well known in Jewish, Christian, and interreligious circles, \u003ci\u003eIn God's Presence\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to Jewish and Christian academic readers, those interested in the intersection of Jewish and Christian thought, and students in introduction to Judaism courses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlon Goshen-Gottstein\u003c\/b\u003e (PhD, Hebrew University of Jerusalem) is a scholar of Jewish studies and is acknowledged as one of the world's leading figures in interreligious dialogue.
