הגות ציונית דתית נגד הציונות הדתית: הערות והרהורים על משנתו של אליעזר גולדמן: הערות והרהורים על משנתו של אליעזר גולדמן

Goldman belongs to the group of scholars who arose from the Religious-Zionist camp but whose thought threatens the foundations of the Religious Zionists' theology. His attitude to medieval Jewish philosophy follows the same pattern. On the one hand he seriously investigates medieval thought (Sa'adya, Maimonides) and adopts its terminology and formulations; on the other hand, he denies the scientific relevance of religious sources. In addition, Goldman differs from the Religious Zionist thinker in his view that preferring Judaism to any other religious system is not a matter of a rational decision. Most radical is Goldman's theory of "the pluralism of reality." Finally, his rejection of any messianic interpretations of current events, such as the foundation of the State of Israel, completely removes him from the Religious Zionists' theology.
