Fragments of a Faith Remembered Nine Sta
Couldn't load pickup availability
Faith exists as both fragment and whole - a paradox at the heart of modern Jewish theology that defies systematic categorization. "Fragments of a Faith Remembered," a theological work by Rabbi Eliezer with commentary by Lawrence Troster, explores this tension through nine foundational statements of faith. Through detailed textual analysis of each fragment and its commentary, the work examines classical Jewish theological concerns including divine existence, God's simultaneous transcendence and immanence, the interplay of free will and providence, revelation, Torah as divine communication, Jewish chosenness, afterlife, and messianic redemption. The analysis reveals a non-fundamentalist theological framework that emphasizes continuous revelation and positions tikkun olam (world repair) as Judaism's central purpose. Rather than treating faith and doubt as opposing forces, the work presents them as coexisting paradoxical states. This sophisticated approach to Jewish belief acknowledges both human cognitive limitations and the persistence of religious experience, offering particular relevance for post-Holocaust Jewish thought.
