The idea of God acting in history became important in Jewish theology and philosophy after the Holocaust. Some Jewish thinkers tried to defend the ‘traditional’ God of the Covenant. Richard Rubenstein, however, denies the existence of a God who acts in history. Inspired by Protestant radical theology, he worked out a conception that may be called the theory of “the time of the death of God”. Yet Rubenstein does not deny the existence of God in general; he accepts and develops a kabbalistic idea of God as immanent in the world and in human beings. In Rubenstein’s theodicy the personal God of Judaism and Christianity is replaced by a cosmic power. The entire universe is seen as a multiplicity of manifestations of this divine power, and man is just one of these manifestations. Death – the death of children in Auschwitz, for instance – can be regarded as a form of liberation and is the final step toward “Holy Nothingness”.
