Historically, he analyzes the great change in modern Jewish thought brought about by Spinoza's inversion of the doctrine: that it was not God, who elected Israel, but Israel who elected God.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">David Novak</note> <subject> <topic>Judaism -- History of doctrines</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Israel -- History</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Jews -- Election, Doctrine of</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">296.311</classification> <classification authority="ddc">D249-N94</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0521416906</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/10844/the-election-of-israel.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/10844/the-election-of-israel.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg"/> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2023-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070938.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
