Ethical Monotheism

Jewish approach emphasizing moral responsibility as central expression of belief in one God who demands justice and righteousness from humanity. This tradition sees ethical behavior not as separate from religious practice but as its highest expression, following prophetic tradition calling for social justice. Ethical monotheism influenced Reform Judaism and modern Jewish thought by focusing on universal moral principles while maintaining Jewish identity. The path emphasizes tikkun olam (repairing the world) through compassionate action and moral leadership.
