Geoffrey Claussen, Lori and Eric Sklut Scholar in Jewish Studies and Chair and Associate Professor of Religious Studies, published a theological essay titled “‘I Will Be With Them’: God at the Burning Bush as an Ideal of Compassion for all Creatures.”
Grounded in the narrative of Moses’s encounter with God at the burning bush, as described in the third chapter of the Book of Exodus and in classical midrashic texts, the essay explores a conception of God as an ideal of compassion for all sentient beings.
The essay appears as a chapter in the volume Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh, published by New Paradigm Matrix Publishing, edited by David Birnbaum and Martin S. Cohen.
