History and Truth in Religion
Stanislaw Krajewski
History and Truth in Religion, chapter in Religious Truth Towards a Jewish Theology of Religions edited by: Alon Goshen-Gottstein.
This chapter is a philosophically oriented exploration of truth which tackles a specific challenge to the truth within Judaism, but that challenge potentially applies to other traditions as well. It engages with the more theoretical question of what we mean when we speak of truth in a religious context. Judaism is a textual tradition that appeals to historical reality. It is thus highly historical. What happens when factual certitude falters and we lose the safe moorings of faith in the plain sense of historical accounts that provide the basis for the religious life?
