Judaism Beyond God, Sherwin T. Wine's 1985 book from the Society for Humanistic Judaism, is the founding statement of Humanistic Judaism's rejection of theism within a Jewish cultural and ethical framework. Its strength is that it is the founder's own primary text, directly stating the movement's original position. Its limit is that it is a founder's own doctrinal work, not independent scholarship assessing Humanistic Judaism's place within wider Jewish practice.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
2
Tier two: the founder's own primary statement of the movement's beliefs and origins, authoritative for what Sherwin Wine and the Society for Humanistic Judaism themselves taught and why the movement broke with theistic practice, but a founder's own doctrinal account rather than independent scholarly analysis of Humanistic Judaism's place within wider Jewish thought.
Notes
Sherwin T. Wine's own foundational text of Humanistic Judaism, Society for Humanistic Judaism, 1985; a founder's own text, not independent scholarly analysis.
