ABSTRACT

The universal wisdom on the crisis of faith of the modern Jew, as formulated in the writings of the greatest scholars and thinkers of Jewish thought in the modern age, describes the modern Jew as one who can no longer accept a belief in divine Revelation at face value. David Hartman rejected the portrayal of the modern crisis of faith. David Hartman's rejection of the portrayal of the modern crisis of faith and his alternative understanding of it is one of the most important lessons that the author have learned from him. He argues that the problem of Jews in the modern age is not the loss of their ability to uphold the fundamental belief in the system with intellectual integrity and without apology, but rather touches upon deepest questions of the religious personality and the content of a meaningful religious life.
