Protesting God in Rabbinic and Early Christian Literature
Dov Weiss, PhD
In his recently published book, Pious Irreverence, Dov Weiss has written the first scholarly study of the premodern roots of a distinctively Jewish theology of protest, examining its origins and development in the rabbinic age. The lecture will consider this theology and the ways its practitioners both challenge and confront God.
Dov Weiss is an Assistant Professor of Jewish Studies in the Department of Religion at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He completed his PhD at the University of Chicago Divinity School in 2011 and was the Alan M. Stock Fellow at Harvard University’s Center for Jewish Studies in 2012. His first book, Pious Irreverence: Confronting God in Rabbinic Judaism, won the Jewish Book Council’s 2017 National Book Award in the category of Scholarship.
