The Philosophy of the Bible as Foundation of Jewish Culture

Eliezer Schweid's work offers a modern interpretation of the Bible, emphasizing its narrative and legal aspects to foster a renewed dialogue among contemporary Jews. Drawing from the philosophical ideas of thinkers like Hermann Cohen and Martin Buber, as well as insights from modern biblical scholarship, Schweid highlights the broader themes of creation and land settlement. He advocates for a vision where the world's resources are shared equitably among all beings, addressing the urgent ecological challenges of our time.
