What Are The Big Principles of Judaism

A recording of Rabbi Dr Samuel Lebens discussing his new book with Rabbi Dr Raphael Zarum.

Does Judaism have axioms that can be expressed in the language of 21st century analytic philosophy? That was the challenge that R. Dr Lebens set himself in his latest book The Principles of Judaism (Oxford University Press, 2020).

His crystal-clear modern explanation of Creation, Revalation and Redemption, as well as his philosophicla readings of numerous Jewish texts have garnered international praise:

"A rigerous conceptual analysis of the fundamentals of Jewish faith by a bright new star in the Jewish intellectual firmament" (Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks zt"l)

"Lebens is one of the very best younger philosophers in the Jewish tradition working on analytical theology. The Principles of Judaism is rigorous, original and bold in exploring a fresh articulation of the deep principles on Judaism" (Professor William J. Abraham)
