About 11 h 04 min of reading103 chapters

Jewish Theology, Systematically and Historically Considered, published in 1918 by Kaufmann Kohler, president of Hebrew Union College, was the first full systematic theology written from the standpoint of American Reform Judaism. After introductory chapters on what Judaism is and on its articles of faith, Kohler treats God as He makes Himself known, the idea of God in Judaism and God in relation to the world; then man, free will, sin, repentance, prayer and the future life; and finally Israel, its election, its mission to the nations, the Messianic hope and the synagogue. Throughout he traces each doctrine from the Bible through rabbinic and medieval thought to his own liberal position. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
