This edited collection offers new perspectives on perceived paradoxes in Israel's religious heritage, with a particular focus on the Garden of Eden narrative and descriptions of Israel's God. The chapters examine a number of themes related to these paradoxes, including (1) "knowledge" versus "life" (referencing the two Edenic trees); (2) paradoxes pertaining to knowledge in the biblical versus Socratic traditions and the Platonic "good" versus the apparent eschewing of the good-evil dichotomy in Garden of Eden; (3) difficulties implicating finitude versus infinity; (4) God's Edenic garden versus rabbinical "orchard," or Pardes, the traditional fourfold manner of Torah interpretation; (5) the question of the Sod, or "secret" esoteric stratum or narrative channel within the text of the Torah; (6) the issue of idolatry; (7) the nature of Israel's deity; (8) a comparative glimpse of the Israelite God vis-a-vis relevant Christian and Buddhist glosses on divinity; and (9) science-fictional explorations of the biblical exegesis discourse. The volume's contributors are based in Canada; England; Poland; Israel; and the United States.
