  • Revelation and the God of Israelby Norbert M. Samuelson

    Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 32.00

    Norbert M.

  • The theology of the halakhahby J. Neusner

    BRILL 2001; US$ 177.00

  • Responses to Suffering in Classical Rabbinic Literatureby David Kraemer

    Oxford University Press 1994; US$ 125.00

    Oxford University Press 2000; US$ 110.00

    Monotheism is usually considered Judaism's greatest contribution to world culture, but it is far from clear what monotheism is. This work examines the notion that monotheism is not so much a claim about the number of God as a claim about the nature of God. more...

    Oxford University Press 1998; US$ 110.00

    In this addition to the field of Jewish ethics, Goodman argues that the Jewish tradition has a significant contribution to make to the general discourse on ethical issues. Refuting the notion that "human rights" is a modern issue, he traces the idea of such rights to biblical sources. more...

  • The Early History of Heavenby J. Edward

    Oxford University Press 2002; US$ 50.00

    How and why did Western cultures come to imagine the heavenly realm as they do? This volume traces the history of speculation about heaven and discovers that the Hebrew texts that fed Jewish and Christian notions were deeply influenced by images drawn from the surrounding cultures. more...
