Jewish Quest 2005 - 4th SPECIAL Time and Eternity with Rabbi Louis Jacobs z'l `
Recorded in 2005 Rabbi Jacobs reflects, in this Audio, on the Jewish notions of time and eternity. Faithful to his own convictions, he subjects both concepts to careful scrutiny – examining the biblical and rabbinic understandings of the terms – and draws out the implications of such considerations on a wide variety of theological motifs, including Creation and Revelation, redemption, and messianism. He does not hesitate to problematise traditional or fundamentalist conceptions of time and eternity in light of contemporary historical research, but nevertheless persists in his effort to maintain the relevance of faith in the modern era.xn
