Description should be: This ground-breaking book presents a new theology of the Jews as God’s Chosen People, addressing issues of self-serving ethnocentric supremacy, cultural isolation, and the defamation of religions other than Judaism. It is traditional in taking the truth of Judaism seriously; yet, at the same time it is critical, rejecting previous concepts of chosenness to offer a fresh perspective on the Jews' place in the world. Gellman suggests a new approach to inter-religious understanding from a Jewish point of view, and examines the impact of his proposal on traditional Jewish liturgy.
