| David Hartman From Defender to Critic |
|
| Dr. David Hartman, the world’s leading modern Orthodox theologian, presents his own painful spiritual evolution from defender of the rule-based system of Jewish law to revolutionary proponent of a theology of empowerment, one that encourages individuals and communities to take greater levels of responsibility for their religious lives. In this daring self-examination, he explains how his goals were not to strip halakha—or the past—of its authority but to create a space for questioning and critique that allows for the traditionally religious Jew to act out a moral life in tune with modern experience.
In achieving this synthesis of tradition with the sensibilities of contemporary Judaism, Hartman captures precisely what creates vitality in living Judaism and charts the path to nurture its vitality forever.

| David HartmanA Living Covenant |
|
| This interpretation of Jewish teaching will appeal to all people seeking to understand the relationship between the idea of divine demand and the human response, between religious tradition and modernity. Hartman shows that a life lived in Jewish tradition need not be passive, insulated, or self-effacing, but can be lived in the modern pluralistic world with passion, tolerance, and spontaneity. |

| David HartmanA Heart of Many Rooms |
|
| With clarity, passion, and outstanding scholarship, David Hartman addresses the spiritual and theological questions that face all Jews and all people today. From the perspective of traditional Judaism, he helps us understand the varieties of twentieth-century Jewish practice and shows that commitment to both Jewish tradition and to pluralism can create bridges of understanding between people of different religious convictions. |

| Love and Terror in the God Encounter: The Theological Legacy of Rabbi Josef B. Soloveitchik HEBREW |
|
By
David Hartman, 1931-2013
|
|
| Rabbi Josef B. Soloveitchik deeply influenced modern Orthodoxy in the United States – and Judaism in general – in creating a dialogue between traditional Torah learning and western philosophical thought. Prof. David Hartman examines anew the points of Rabbi Soloveitchik’s philosophy that touch on the central aspects of the lives of modern believers. Hartman locates in these aspects the motivations, tensions and nourishment in Soloveitchik’s philosophy, also exploring its limits and raising new questions regarding this philosophy and modern Jewish thought.

| Maimonides: Torah and Philosophic Quest |
|
| In this original study, noted scholar and theologian David Hartman discusses the relation between Maimonides` halakhic writings and The Guide of the Perplexed--a connection much closer than is generally supposed. Maimonides: Torah and Philosophic Quest demonstrates that Maimonides` total philosophic endeavor was an attempt to show how the free search for truth, established through the study of logic, physics, and metaphysics, can live harmoniously with a way of life defined by the normative traditions of Judaism. |
