The 2012 issue of The University of Toronto Journal of Jewish Thought invites papers reflecting on notions of divine love in
Jewish philosophy and theology. The Biblical commandment to love God has traditionally been regarded among
Jewish thinkers as the sense and essence of all other commandments, yet how should we understand the content of this
commandment, and how should we explain the relationship between God’s love, the love for God, and the love
between persons? We welcome papers spanning the
ancient, medieval, modern, and postmodern periods, drawing from a broad range of disciplinary fields, including
intellectual history, and including comparisons of divine love in the three major monotheistic religions: Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam.
Please send an abstract no longer than 500 words and prepared for ‘blind-review’ (with the author’s
name, institutional affiliation, and stage in career appearing on a separate page) to the following email:
utjjt.cjs@gmail.com by November 01, 2011. Please see the online pdf of this CFP for more details.
