A Vision for Humanity through the Lens of the Torah

Exploring Multi-Covenantism and Religious Federalism. This online encyclopedia is your gateway to understanding Noahism, a profound system of thought within Orthodox Judaism that examines the relationships between faith communities. Through the framework of Multi-Covenantism, the Torah reveals a vision where humanity is united by a common root and thrives within distinct, divinely ordained covenants.

What is Multi-Covenantism?

Multi-covenantism recognizes that humanity is bound to God through multiple, simultaneous, and valid covenants. From the covenant with Adam to the universal covenant with Noah, this concept forms the foundation of all proper religion for mankind. It affirms that each community has its unique role and responsibility within a larger divine purpose.

Religious Federalism: Unity in Diversity

At the heart of this vision is Religious Federalism, a model of human organization. This structure sees humanity as a great tree with shared roots, from which unique and specific communities branch out. Each branch represents a covenantal path, contributing to the unity and diversity of mankind under God's guidance.
