This is an important book. Despite its title, it offers much to any philosopher of religion, and to philosophers in contemporary analytic metaphysics in general ... There is something strikingly brand new here, I think, in the synthesis of traditional Jewish texts and thought with the content and methods of contemporary analytic philosophy. Future histories of philosophy may well mark this moment.
