TRANSNATURE'S GOD : Studies in Mordecai M. Kaplan's Theology / By PROF. MEIR BEN-HORIN ; Edited by Ethan M. Merlin
Transnature's God, a monumental study by Professor Meir Ben-Horin (1918-1988), is largely an intellectual history of the central ideas of Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan, widely known as the founder of Reconstructionist Judaism. In the words of editor Ethan Merlin, "Kaplan stood at the crossroads of ancient and modern traditions. His novel ideas about God and Judaism reflect his particular historical and cultural moment. In this book, Ben-Horin explains those ideas while documenting their relation to larger intellectual currents." Dr. Ben-Horin devoted the 1970s through 1987, researching, analyzing, writing, and enhancing this work. Just as he was editing his final manuscript, he died in January 1988. The culmination of decades of Jewish scholarship, Dr. Ben-Horin's manuscript has been rediscovered, re-edited and is now published. This is a significant scholarly work that has been researched and painstakingly footnoted by the author. It is "must reading" for students and scholars of Judaism. 407 pages. Heavy paperback. 8 x 11.5 inches. ISBN 0-9761208-0-1. Table of Contents on reverse side.
