Teach Me about God

The Meaning and Significance of the Name of God

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

While the essence of God will always remain a mystery to man, much has been written through the ages about how God relates to the world. In this regard, the Divine names are of ultimate significance to man for they represent His attributes. Focusing on these names in the context in which they appear, Teach Me about God discovers and delineates the way God relates to the world as seen and put forth by the Jewish tradition. Texts for the book were selected from the lives of Adam, Noah, the Patriarchs and Moses; the prophecies of Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel; and the Book of Psalms to illustrate the significance of the Divine encounter and the relationship between God and Man. Written for the layperson, Teach Me about God can serve as a source book to teach the fundamentals of Jewish thinking on how God relates to the world in general and man in particular.
