on
The Sage is Greater Than
the Prophet:
Judaism As A Religion
of Freedom and Responsibility
The Rabbis perceived their
role and their engagement with Jewish texts
as advancing the very process
of revelation.
Their displacement of the
prophet, and at times of God himself, was an
expression of the ultimate
freedom and responsibility man must bear for his
own moral and ethical destiny.
