Nadler Steven: Why Read Maimonides
Today?

Why Read Maimonides Today?

Kinship and Species in the Bible and Rabbinic Literature

What Animals Teach Us About Families

Four Views

Life After Death

Routledge Focus on Classical Studies

This book explores how philosophical and religious communities in the Roman Empire of the first and second centuries CE engaged with and were shaped by their relationship to texts and tradition in their quest for true religious knowledge, or ultimate truth.

Authority, Text, and Tradition

Philosophers, Jews, and Christians in the Roman Empire

Jewish Perspectives on Reincarnation from the Middle Ages to the Modern Period

The Life of the Soul

Centers on the ethics of Emmanuel Levinas, aiming to understand this important thinker on his own terms.

Reading Levinas in a Levinasian Way

The Event of the Good

Anthem Impact

This study investigates how medieval intellectuals compared their own cultures with others. It aims to establish Cultural Comparisons as an area of medieval studies by looking at some of the outstanding texts, mainly from the twelfth to the fourteenth centuries.

How Medieval Thinkers Analysed Cultural Differences

"Beth Berkowitz's latest book firmly establishes her as the most innovative and compelling scholar writing on the place of animals in Jewish texts. She pushes beyond mining scripture for wisdom and helps the reader discover, alongside generations of rabbinic readers and writers, how the Bible's attention to animal families might transform our own sense of kinship today."--Aaron S. Gross, author of The Question of the Animal and Religion "Berkowitz is uniquely well-versed not only in rabbinics (her area of specialization) but also in biblical studies and animal studies. Scholars in all three of these fields will recognize her book as cutting-edge work."--Ken Stone, author of Reading the Hebrew Bible with Animal Studies

A unique collection of stories--presented together here for the first time--from one of the great voices of the European Jewish diaspora This collection from one of the great pre-war writers, himself a member of Europe's Jewish diaspora, highlights the precarious position that Jewish people have occupied throughout millennia, in stories that move across centuries and nations but show the unchanging pressure of outsider status. But these stories are about individuals, too--in Zweig's treatment, the particular passions of particular hearts will always blaze out brightly against the levelling forces of history. <ul><li>In 'Mendel the Bibliophile', a bookseller's obsession with his wares blinds him to the progress of war and the threat it poses to his own life. </li><li>Monomania is also an overpowering force in 'Downfall of the Heart', in which an aging father cannot accept his daughter's embrace of new freedoms. </li><li>'The Miracles of Life' is a masterfully ironic tale, which plays with the tension between faith and morality, society and individual, against the backdrop of 1500s Antwerp and the Dutch rebellion against Spanish rule. </li><li>'In the Snow' sees a Jewish community in medieval Eastern Europe fleeing the violence of a Christian sect. </li><li>And in the longest piece in the collection, the novella The Buried Candelabrum, we go all the way back to the ancient world, where the recovery of a sacred seven-branched candlestick stolen during the sack of Rome will become a young Jewish boy's life's mission.</li></ul>
