A sequel to Gellman's trilogy with Academic Studies Press of constructive Jewish theology, this book presents a new concept of the Jews as God's Chosen People; a reply to an argument for the reliability of Torah history; and provides an approach to the problem of evil for troubled believers and want to be believers, without trying to solve the problem.

Continuing the author’s commitment to neo-traditional constructive Jewish theology, this book is a sequel to Gellman’s trilogy of constructive Jewish theology with Academic Studies Press. The book treats three topics which revise and clarify the author’s views in light of critics and further thought. The book includes a new concept of the Jews as God’s Chosen People for our times; a reply to an argument for the reliability of Torah history; and an approach, not a solution, to the problem of evil for troubled believers and want to be believers.
