Incorporeality of God

Many biblical and rabbinic sources describe God using the language of physicality, but influential rabbinic texts emphasize that denial of God's physicality is a key principle of Jewish faith. Philosophers, scholars, kabbalists, and commentators have all attempted to explain how a transcendent God can be described in human terms. A few have maintained that God does or could indeed possess a physical form, some have interpreted physical language in traditional sources metaphorically, and some have reinterpreted it in light of kabbalistic concepts.
