Repercussions of the Kalam in Jewish Philosophy

The book Repercussions of the Kalam in Jewish Philosophy offers a succinct and enlightening narrative of a significant interplay of theological ideas throughout history. Wolfson, a Jewish philosopher, presents an articulated and well-documented account, showcasing the profound influence of early Muslim theologians and philosophers on the development of Jewish intellectual frameworks.

This exchange facilitated the formulation and organization of theological systems and teachings within Jewish thought. The rational aspect of Judaism thrived through engagement with rational Islamic theology (kalam), notably within the context of Muʿtazilite discourse.
