Softbound. Condizione: Very Good. Octavo, paper covers, xiv, 213pp., index Translated from the Hebrew by Leonard Levin. "The fundamental book of Eliezer 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 equallya message very much relevant to the ecological crisis facing us all at the present time." flap copy.…

Softbound. Condizione: Very Good. Octavo, paper covers, xii, 216 pp., index Translated from the Hebrew by Leonard Levin. "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" (from the Liberty Bell), and: "The land shall not be sold in perpetuity" (motto of the Jewish National Fund).More broadly, 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 equallya message very much relevant to the ecological crisis facing us all at the present time." flap copy.…

Moreover, anyone interested in modern international history must reflect on the European and global events and processes that took place during the turbulent decades between 1914 and 1945 and, in particular, on their interconnections. What exactly are the lessons of this his- tory? Judging from the consequences of the two world wars, it is reasonable to conclude that major modern wars seldom bring lasting peace, that the enmities, brutalization, and mobi- lization of one conflagration can easily trigger another. And even when a war comes to an end, the structures, mentalities, and worldviews it produced are not easily dismantled. As the European interwar period demonstrates, major wars bring painful, revanchist memories with them; and these, in turn, can foster the kinds of internal and international conditions that lead to further conflict. -- That democratic states do not start wars is a lesson that can be substantiated by both world wars. But how do major wars affect democracy? Can we, with our understanding of the aftermath of the First World War, conclude that democracy draws strength from the sacrifices made during a major mod- ern war? Are rifles naturally replaced with ballot boxes? Does the decolonization that occurred after the Second World" -- ISBN 9781644698792 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 540.…
