Reviews
"A carefully and lucidly argued book about the relationship between violence, holiness, and Judaism." ---Martin Shuster, Reading Religion, "With verve and elegance, Alan Mittleman offers an arresting critique of religious violence and a philosophical and theological account of holiness. This book is essential reading for anyone who is troubled by biblical morality or perplexed by religious violence in today's world." --Leora Batnitzky, author of How Judaism Became a Religion: An Introduction to Modern Jewish Thought, "With this rich and sophisticated meditation, Mittleman counters contemporary Jewish attempts to justify violence in the name of religion, redirecting our attention to the way that holiness in Judaism marks a site of exceptional value that is not simply ethics but is never independent from it. This ambitious and sensitive work of constructive theology couldn't be more timely." --Suzanne L. Stone, Yeshiva University, "This book is distinguished by its systematic clarity and carefulness, by the sophistication of Mittleman's views about Judaism and morality, and by his comprehensive and rich engagement with Jewish ideas and texts. It is striking how much he accomplishes in such a short and economical treatment." --Michael L. Morgan, University of Toronto, "Philosophically astute and rigorous, Does Judaism Condone Violence? makes a significant contribution to a subject that genuinely matters." --Eric Gregory, Princeton University, Winner of the 2018 National Jewish Book Award in Modern Jewish Thought and Experience, Dorot Foundation Award in Memory of Joy Ungerleider Mayerson

Synopsis
A philosophical case against religious violence We live in an age beset by religiously inspired violence. Terms such as "holy war" are the stock-in-trade of the evening news. But what is the relationship between holiness and violence? Can acts such as murder ever truly be described as holy? In Does Judaism Condone Violence? , Alan Mittleman offers a searching philosophical investigation of such questions in the Jewish tradition. Jewish texts feature episodes of divinely inspired violence, and the position of the Jews as God's chosen people has been invoked to justify violent acts today. Are these justifications valid? Or does our understanding of the holy entail an ethic that argues against violence? Reconstructing the concept of the holy through a philosophical examination of biblical texts, Mittleman finds that the holy and the good are inextricably linked, and that our experience of holiness is authenticated through its moral consequences. Our understanding of the holy develops through reflection on God's creation of the natural world, and our values emerge through our relations with that world. Ultimately, Mittleman concludes, religious justifications for violence cannot be sustained. Lucid and incisive, Does Judaism Condone Violence? is a powerful counterargument to those who claim that the holy is irrational and amoral. With philosophical implications that extend far beyond the Jewish tradition, this book should be read by anyone concerned about the troubling connection between holiness and violence.
