Covenant grounds Cohen's understanding of our relationships with God and other persons and is the basis for his theodicy: if we are by creation covenantal, bound to God and each other in covenant, why do we have such difficulty sustaining covenantal bonds? Cohen was rent by his own inability to maintain bond with God and other persons, often women he loved. While theodicy traditionally holds this is a human failing, Cohen proposes that it must also be God's. God is the source of humanity's covenantal breaches as he is source of humanity itself. Cohen's commitment to covenant and his anger at this God who made us so prone to failing it undergird the faith, frustration, and sardonic taunting of Cohen's work. Both his faith and ire are traced through (i) Cohen's unorthodox use of Jewish and Christian imagery, (ii) his writings about women, politics, and the Holocaust, and (iii) in his magisterial final theology, You Want It Darker, released three weeks before his death"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Cohen, Leonard, $d 1934-2016 $x Teachings. 650 0 $a Covenants $x Judaism. $x Judaism. 650 0 $a Theology. 650 0 $a Theodicy. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Pally, Marcia, $t From this broken hill I sing to you $b 1st. $d New York : Bloomsbury Academic, 2021. $z 9780567694782 $w (DLC) 2021008494 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220802022040.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=412DDDC683F811ECA43678234CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
