Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Wisdom of Love strives to challenge the discrepancy between the way in which source texts relate to love and the way in which they are perceived to do so, introducing readers to the extensive, profound and significant treatment of love in the Jewish canon. This is a book about love, not its repression; an opportunity to study the wisdom of love, not those who lack such wisdom and are unlikely to ever acquire it.Wisdom of Love brings about not only a change in perception - recognizing the existence of the wisdom of love per se - but also the realization, that this wisdom is the very foundation of religious wisdom as a whole, rather than a peripheral branch of it. All love derives from a single source: love between man and woman. It is from this source that all other manifestations of love, such as love of God, love of wisdom, love of one's fellow, draw their meaning.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The fundamental book of Elieser Schweid is a modern interpretation of the Bible as narrative and law that can reopen the dialogue of contemporary Jews with the Bible, from which a dynamic Jewish culture can continue to draw its inspiration. The approach draws at the same time from the philosophical modernism of Hermann Cohen, the dialogical philosophy of Buber, the religious phenomenology of Heschel, and the insights of contemporary Biblical scholars, including literary analysts of the Bible. Schweid helps us to appreciate the broader message of the narrative of creation and settlement of the land in its ecumenical and planetary dimensions. The world is God's creation whose resources are to be deployed as necessary for the sustenance and needs-fulfillment of all peoples and all creatures equally-a message very much relevant to the ecological crisis facing us all at the present time.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Like Spinoza in his Theological-Political Treatise, Schweid helps us grasp the potential for seeing radically new messages in this oldest of books, the Bible. The American Founding Fathers realized that the Bible offers strong support for the doctrine of popular sovereignty. Socially, it offers a message of egalitarianism, especially in the provisions of the Jubilee. It is hardly an accident that two modern political movements found mottos ready at hand from the 25th chapter of Leviticus: 'Proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof' (engraved on the Liberty Bell), and 'The land shall not be sold in perpetuity' (motto of the Jewish National Fund). Schweid helps us to appreciate the broader message of the narrative of creation and settlement of the land in its ecumenical and planetary dimensions. The world is God's creation, and its resources are to be deployed as necessary for the sustenance and need-fulfillment of all peoples and all creatures equally-a message very much relevant to the ecological crisis facing us all at the present time.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One of the most fascinating and controversial novels of the twentieth century, Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita is renown for its innovative style and notorious for its subject matter and influence on popular culture. A Reader's Guide to Nabokov's 'Lolita' carries readers through the intricacies of Nabokov's work and helps them achieve a better understanding of his rich artistic design. The book opens with a detailed chronology of Nabokov's life and literary career. Chapters include an analysis of the novel, a discussion of its precursors in Nabokov's work and in world literature, an essay on the character of Dolly Haze (Humbert's 'Lolita'), and a commentary on the critical and cultural afterlife of the novel. The volume concludes with an annotated bibliography of selected critical reading. The guide should prove illuminating both for first-time readers of Lolita and for experienced re-readers of Nabokov's classic work.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Does dialogue between faiths work In its meta-framework painful issues are raised with the hope of healing for both partners. This case study asserts that this is vital if we wish to prevent a future HaShoah. After fifty years, the Jewish-Christian dialogue has achieved respect and trust, but basic disagreement over the Christian designation of Jesus as the Jewish messiah stands. Is it possible to discuss this without annihilating one or the other faith community Theologians have suggested varying approaches but none convince both partners, so this work employs William James' radical empirical method to show that the original Jewish messianic concept, the Christian shift, and the Jewish repudiation of the shift, can each be seen as valid faith variants.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This collection of essays on Turgenev, Nietzsche, Goncharov, Austen, Conrad, Dostoevsky, Blok, Briusov, Gorky, Gogol, Pasternak and Nabokov is diverse, but also unified. One unifying element is the recurring distinction between 'culture' and 'civilization' and the vision of Russia as the bearer of culture because it retains much 'barbarism.' Another is the vision of a synthesis between 'sense and sensibility,' Apollo and Dionysus, mind and heart creating a 'civilized culture.' This collection of articles adds new perspectives to the much-debated opposition of a vital Russia and a declining West, offering novel interpretations of classics from 'A Terrible Vengeance' to Oblomov, from 'Song of Triumphant Love' to The Idiot and Doctor Zhivago to Lolita. It also discusses less well known texts, such as Gorky's 'Italian Fairytales' and Briusov's early 'exotic' verse.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Rituals provide public solutions to some types of life crises.There are crises which beset individuals in modern andpost-modern society which are not easily addressed by traditionalrituals. However, rites have not disappeared in contemporarysociety, but have merely changed their guise.Focusing on the secular society of contemporary Israel, thiscollection examines rituals which were invented by communitiesand individuals in order to celebrate important turning points.In contemporary Israel a process of innovation of new rituals wasintroduced, either by the adoption of ritual elements from outsidesources or by the transformation of existing Jewish symbols throughthe infusion of new contents originating in secular ideology.The term 'personal definitional rites' coined here was introducedas a tool to interpret rites carried out by individuals undergoing achange in identity.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What is the secret that Maimonides hides He himself tells us: therabbis of the Talmud used the expression ma'aseh bereshit ('Accountof Creation') for what the Greeks called physics and usedthe expression ma'aseh merkavah ('Account of the Chariot') orwhat the Greeks called metaphysics. So why is this important Theconsequences of these equations are momentous. Maimonidesimports what we today would call science into the heart of Torah.This is allied to his universalism and to his conception of the commandmentsof the Torah as tools (which could in principle havebeen different), whose importance lies in the end they serve, andnot in themselves. That being the case, true reward and punishmentare not connected to behavior, no matter how saintly or howvile, but to proper conceptions of God, crystallized in the 'ThirteenPrinciples'.Maimonides hid these secrets from his fellow Jews, not out offear of reprisal (protected as he was by his good friend, al-Qadial-Fadl, he had no reason to fear them), but out of noblesse oblige.Exposing simple Jews (and their philosophically no less simplerabbis) to these truths could only lead to perplexity (in the best ofcircumstances) or to falling away from observance (in the worst ofcircumstances), neither of which Maimonides had any interest inpromoting.One God wrote two books, as it were: Torah and Cosmos. The trulydevout Jew realizes that he or she must study both books, or onlyhave access to half of God's oeuvre.Born and educated in the United States, Menachem Kellner (Ph.D., Washington University in St. Louis, 1973) has lived in Israel for the last 30 years. Author, editor, or translator of 16 books and over 100 scholarly articles,Kellner's most recent book is 'Maimonides' Confrontation with Mysticism' (2006).…
