and yet, there is a small group of jews in the orthodox world who argue that the nature of judaism is orthoprax, such as jeffrey radon, a teacher of jewish studies who has an internet site, "orthoprax judaism", devoted to jewish studies in a democratic spirit. jeffrey radon is also the author of two books - one on the orthoprax nature of the hebrew bible "reconciling a contradictory abraham", and the other on the orthoprax nature of the jewish tradition "exposing the distortion of orthodox dogma and ideology". radon argues that maimonides codification of principles of belief as a binding theological dogma was not only an innovation but a distortion of the ancient jewish tradition based upon the bible and the talmud (and that maimonides was aware that his codification of a binding dogma was a distortion, and he codified such a dogma only for the unlearned jewish masses to strengthen them as christians and muslims had codified such dogma) as there is no binding theological dogma in the bible or in the talmudic literature (and fundamental beliefs of the bible or talmudic literature do not have the status of binding dogma), and the commandments of the torah as the basis of jewish law are according to jewish tradition commandments of doing and not doing (and not of believing or not believing). israel drazin, a former army chaplain and rabbi recently came out in support of the idea that the nature of judaism is orthoprax.
