About the author, from the back cover of the book: "Elliot N. Dorff was ordained a rabbi by the Jewish Theological Seminary of America in 1970 and eared his Ph.D. in philosophy from Columbia University in 1971. Since then he has directed the rabbinical and master's programs at the University of Judaism, where he is currently rector and professor of philosophy. In Los Angeles he is the vice president of Jewish Family Service. In spring 1993 he served on the ethics committee of the Clinton Healthcare Task Force. Rabbi Dorff's publication include some one hundred articles on Jewish thought, law and ethics, together with five books [on Judaism]. . .He is married and has four children.

About the book: the reviewer for Shofar said of this work: "In this book [the author] probes what we as adults can know about God through human reason, human and Divine words, and human and Divine action. Without assuming a background in philosophy, he presents some of the major philosophical options and conundrums in using each of these sources of knowledge about God and the images of God that result."
