While Yishayahu Leibowitz articulated that a man of faith must sacrifice his principles in the name of loving God and fearing God, David Hartman invited us to make this covenant a living pact that reaches out to each human being, and in so doing, establishes a partnership within the responsibility that both God and humanity shape pluralistically. We make this covenant come alive with differing interpretations, constructive dialogue and diverse points of view. Instead of approaching the text through dogmatic lenses that freeze its meaning and make it a museum exhibit, we maintain God\u2019s gift of an eternal \u201c<\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">brit<\/span><\/em><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, by personal perspectives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The covenant is eternal only if we are seekers: \u201cHappy is the heart that seeks God\u201d (I Chronicles 16:10). Seekers renew meaning by asking questions, by awakening curiosity, by respecting disagreement. The journey inspires us to seek, to explore, not to be content with the conformity of the known. Isaiah presents an eternal covenant, we make of it a living bond.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The vision of Isaiah does not gift us with a perfect world, but with a world full of\u00a0 imperfections, inviting those seekers to explore, to listen, to act and never to marginalize dissent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God has a human partner, not just an ideal nor an abstract concept, but a real partner that recreates God\u2019s creation.
