Sacred attunement—refined sensitivity to divine presence in everyday experience—emerges as both promise and challenge in Michael Fishbane's groundbreaking theological work. Through multiple perspectives from Jewish theologians and educators, this scholarly forum examines how Fishbane's "hermeneutical theology" bridges mystical and naturalistic approaches while grounding theological inquiry in experiential awareness rather than doctrine. The methodology consists of invited responses analyzing the book's impact on personal theological development, its pedagogical utility, and its potential contribution to contemporary Jewish theological discourse. Beginning with natural human perception and progressing toward divine awareness through careful attention to textual interpretation, Fishbane's approach provides accessible entry points for theological engagement. Yet his complex prose and demanding spiritual prerequisites present significant barriers to broader accessibility. Forum participants highlight how the book's experiential foundation and integration of textual study as spiritual practice resonate with contemporary seekers, while acknowledging the work's linguistic and practical challenges. Fishbane's theology ultimately represents a valuable contribution to Jewish thought by emphasizing the performative nature of theological inquiry, though its effectiveness depends heavily on readers' capacity for sustained textual engagement and spiritual attentiveness.
