Par Charlotte Elisheva Fonrobert, Martin S. Jaffee. 2007

Unlike other introductions to Rabbinic writings, the present volume includes approaches shaped by anthropology, gender studies, oral-traditional studies, classics, and folklore studies.The Cambridge Companion to Medieval Jewish Philosophy
Par Daniel H. Frank, Oliver Leaman. 2003
Influenced originally by Islamic theological speculation, classical philosophers and Christian Scholasticism of the Middle Ages, Jewish thinkers living in Islamic…
and Christian lands philosophized about Judaism from the ninth to fifteenth centuries.

Kaplan
Par Emanuel S. Goldsmith, Mel Scult, Mordecai M. Kaplan. 1985
In a sense, Mordecai Kaplan's life embodies the American Jewish experience of the first half of the twentieth century. The…
fact that he died in 1983 at the age of 102 means that, in a literal sense, he lived through the whole saga of the American Jew in our times. Arriving here as a boy, growing up in New York City, becoming thoroughly Americanized, he struggled to find ways of making Judaism compatible with the American experience and the modern temper. As rabbi, teacher, writer, and lecturer, he spearheaded the founding of new institutions and stimulated the reconsideration of long-held assumptions. Kaplan's life is a model for all of us.Society for New Testament Studies: Jesus and the Temple
Par Simon J Joseph. 2016
Most Jesus specialists agree that the Temple incident led directly to Jesus' arrest, but the precise relationship between Jesus and…
the Temple's administration remains unclear. Jesus and the Temple examines this relationship, exploring the reinterpretation of Torah observance and traditional Temple practices that are widely considered central components of the early Jesus movement. Challenging a growing tendency in contemporary scholarship to assume that the earliest Christians had an almost uniformly positive view of the Temple's sacrificial system, Simon J. Joseph addresses the ambiguous, inconsistent, and contradictory views on sacrifice and the Temple in the New Testament. This volume fills a significant gap in the literature on sacrifice in Jewish Christianity. It introduces a new hypothesis positing Jesus' enactment of a program of radically nonviolent eschatological restoration, an orientation that produced Jesus' conflicts with his contemporaries and inspired the first attributions of sacrificial language to his death.Jewish Law and Contemporary Issues
Par Arthur J. Jacobson, Bleich, J. David and Jacobson, Arthur J., J. David Bleich. 2015
Organized as a series of authoritative discussions, this book presents the application of Jewish law - or Halakhah - to…
contemporary social and political issues. Beginning with the principle of divine revelation, it describes the contents and canons of interpretation of Jewish law. Though divinely received, the law must still be interpreted and 'completed' by human minds, often leading to the conundrum of divergent but equally authentic interpretations. Examining topics from divorce to war and from rabbinic confidentiality to cloning, this book carefully delineates the issues presented in each case, showing the various positions taken by rabbinic scholars, clarifying areas of divergence, and analyzing reasons for disagreement. Written by widely recognized scholars of both Jewish and secular law, this book will be an invaluable source for all who seek authoritative guidance in understanding traditional Jewish law and practice.Judaism: A Beginner's Guide (Beginner's Guides)
Par Lavinia Cohn-Sherbok, Dan Cohn-Sherbok. 1997
In this clear and authoratative guide, Lavinia and Dan Cohn-Sherbok concisely examine the Jewish faith and its practices and explore…
what it means to be a Jew today. From the nature of God to the divisions within Judaism and from worship to customs, Judaism: A Beginner's Guide covers all the topics essential to an informed understanding of this highly influential 3000-year old faith and its traditions.Man's Search For Meaning, Gift Edition: The Classic Tribute To Hope From The Holocaust
Par Viktor E. Frankl, Harold S. Kushner, William J. Winslade. 2014
A new gift edition of a modern classic, with supplemental photographs, speeches, letters, and essays Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir of…
life in Nazi death camps has riveted generations of readers.

Man's Search for Meaning has become one of the most influential books of our times, selling over twelve million copies worldwide. With a foreword by Harold S. Kushner, Frankl's classic is presented here in an elegant new edition with endpapers, supplementary photographs, and several of Frankl's previously unpublished letters, speeches, and essays.From the Hardcover edition.We Need Silence to Find Out What We Think: Selected Essays
Par Shirley Hazzard, Brigitta Olubas. 2016
These nonfiction works span from the 1960s to the 2000s and were produced by one of the great fiction writers…
of the period. They add critical depth to Shirley Hazzard's creative world and encapsulate her extensive and informed thinking on global politics, international relations, the history and fraught present of Western literary culture, and postwar life in Europe and Asia. They also offer greater access to her brilliant craftsmanship and the multiple registers in which her writings operate. Hazzard writes about the manifold failings of the United Nations, where she worked in the early 1950s. She shares her personal experience with the aftermath of the Hiroshima bombings and the nature of life in late-1940s Hong Kong. She presents her thoughts on the decline of the hero as a public figure in Western literature. These works contribute to a keener understanding of postwar letters, thought, and politics, supported by an introduction that situates Hazzard's writing within its historical context and emphasizes her influence on world literature. This collection confirms Hazzard's place within a network of writers, artists, and intellectuals who believe in the ongoing power of literature to console, inspire, and direct human life, despite-or maybe because of-the world's disheartening realities.A New Kabbalah for Women
Par Perle Besserman. 2005
The red bracelet: it graces the wrists of numerous celebrities - from Madonna to Britney Spears - who have converted…
to the spiritual practice of Kabbalah. But what is Kabbalah and how can women apply it to their own lives?In A New Kabbalah for Women, bestselling author and teacher of Jewish mysticism and meditation, Perle Besserman, shares a feminine approach to spirituality. Since the time of Moses, Jewish mysticism has been barred to women, and Shekhinah, the feminine side of God, has been forced underground. Now, many women are adapting traditional mystical practices in radical new ways. Besserman is at the forefront of this revolution. In this book she traces the history of female-centered worship and tells the story of searching for her own path to truth. Combining practices from the Kabbalah with meditation, Besserman walks readers through step-by-step rituals to find their own personal connection with the divine.Ancient Forgiveness
Par Charles L. Griswold, David Konstan. 2012
In this book, eminent scholars of classical antiquity and ancient and medieval Judaism and Christianity explore the nature and place…
of forgiveness in the pre-modern Western world. They discuss whether the concept of forgiveness, as it is often understood today, was absent, or at all events more restricted in scope than has been commonly supposed, and what related ideas (such as clemency or reconciliation) may have taken the place of forgiveness. An introductory chapter reviews the conceptual territory of forgiveness and illuminates the potential breadth of the idea, enumerating the important questions a theory of the subject should explore. The following chapters examine forgiveness in the contexts of classical Greece and Rome; the Hebrew Bible, the Talmud, and Moses Maimonides; and the New Testament, the Church Fathers, and Thomas Aquinas.
