Summary

I propose that the Hebraic philosophical style consists of modes of raising philosophical problems, often in contraposition to the wisdom of Israel’s neighbors, and asking the reader to think through the doxastic commitments required by them. As with discerning a "Socratic method" in the disparate texts depicting Socrates , a particular set of dispositions and commitments is required to see this philosophical style in the Christian Scriptures. This is not a "trait list" approach, but a collection of traits that exhibit an organic unity. The Hebraic philosophical style features this cluster of attributes: pixelated, networked, ritualist, transdemographic, mysterionist, and creationist.
