This response article by Neil Gillman presents a comprehensive overview of his theological development and key contributions to Conservative Jewish thought. The methodology employed is primarily autobiographical reflection combined with systematic theological analysis, tracing the author's intellectual journey from undergraduate studies through his career at the Jewish Theological Seminary. Gillman identifies revelation and epistemology as his two primary theological concerns, examining how questions of religious authority and knowledge formation shape Jewish belief and practice. Drawing on influences including Mordecai Kaplan, Paul Tillich, and Gabriel Marcel, he develops a theological naturalism that views religious texts and God-concepts as humanly-crafted metaphors while maintaining their spiritual significance through "second naiveté." The study addresses several critical issues within Conservative Judaism, including the movement's relationship to halakhah, ritual observance, and theological education. Key findings emphasize that all characterizations of God are symbolic "word pictures" created by human communities, that theological and scientific epistemologies share fundamental similarities, and that systematic theology is indispensable for authentic Jewish religious identity. Gillman concludes that Conservative Judaism should embrace an aggadic rather than strictly halakhic self-definition, advocating for greater theological sophistication in rabbinical education and communal discourse.
