Book excerpt: Jerusalem has for centuries been known as the spiritual centerfor the three largest monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianityand Islam. Yet Jerusalem’s other-worldly transcendence is farfrom the daily reality of Jerusalem, a city bombarded by conflict.The battle over who owns and controls Jerusalem is intenselydisputed on a global basis. Few cities rival Jerusalem in how itsdivisions are expressed in the political sphere and in ordinaryeveryday life. Jerusalem: The Spatial Politics of a Divided Metropolis isabout this constellation of competing on-the-ground interests: theendless set of claims, struggles, and debates over the land,neighborhoods, and communities that make up Jerusalem. Spatialpolitics explain the motivations and organizing around the battlefor Jerusalem and illustrate how space is a weapon in the Jerusalemstruggle. These are the windows to the world of theIsrael-Palestine conflict. Based on ninety interviews, years of fieldwork, and numerousJerusalem experiences, this book depicts the groups living inJerusalem, their roles in the conflict, and their connections toJerusalem's development. Written for students, scholars, and thoseseeking to demystify the Jerusalem labyrinth, this book shows howreligion, ideology, nationalism, and power underlie patterns ofurban development, inequality, and conflict.
Book Synopsis Priests in Exile by : Meron M. Piotrkowski
Download or read book Priests in Exile written by Meron M. Piotrkowski and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 671 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Priests in Exile is the first comprehensive scholarly opus in English to reconstruct the history of the mysterious Temple of Onias, a Jewish temple built by a Jerusalemite high priest in his Egyptian exile that functioned in parallel with the Temple of Jerusalem. Piotrkowski’s book addresses a topic that is mysterious, important and anomalous: a Jewish community of mercenary priests in the (Egyptian) Diaspora in which the priestly sacrificial ritual was carried out daily over a period of more than two hundred years until the first century CE, outlasting the Jerusalem Temple by about three years. Although the book focuses on the very circumscribed topic of the parallel Temple it casts a wide net, placing the story in the context of Jewish Diaspora life in ancient times. Ancient topics and texts are brought to bear, including papyri, epigraphy, archaeology, as well as the modern literature. Piotrkowski throws new light on a fascinating episode of ancient Jewish history that is usually left in the dark.

Book Synopsis A History of Judaism by : Martin Goodman
Download or read book A History of Judaism written by Martin Goodman and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Judaism is one of the oldest religions in the world, and it has preserved its distinctive identity despite the extraordinarily diverse forms and beliefs it has embodied over the course of more than three millennia. A History of Judaism provides the first truly comprehensive look in one volume at how this great religion came to be, how it has evolved from one age to the next, and how its various strains, sects, and traditions have related to each other. In this magisterial and elegantly written book, Martin Goodman takes readers from Judaism's origins in the polytheistic world of the second and first millennia BCE to the temple cult at the time of Jesus. He tells the stories of the rabbis, mystics, and messiahs of the medieval and early modern periods and guides us through the many varieties of Judaism today. Goodman's compelling narrative spans the globe, from the Middle East, Europe, and America to North Africa, China, and India. He explains the institutions and ideas on which all forms of Judaism are based, and masterfully weaves together the different threads of doctrinal and philosophical debate that run throughout its history."--
Book Synopsis Revelation for the Rest of Us by : Scot McKnight
Download or read book Revelation for the Rest of Us written by Scot McKnight and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2023-02-28 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: See how the Book of Revelation can be read as a book of discipleship, challenging Christ-followers everywhere to live as hopeful agents of resistance and transformation. The last book of the Bible frustrates and frightens many people with its imagery and apocalyptic tone. Popular interpretations rely on fear and politicization and often lead to pride and alienation of others. Is this really how we were intended to read John’s Revelation? In Revelation for the Rest of Us, Scot McKnight with Cody Matchett explore the key message of Revelation and how it: Calls us to be faithful and hopeful witnesses to Jesus. Stimulates our imagination to see the world through the eyes of God and excite our faith. Challenges us to stand against the militarism, economic exploitation, oppression, and injustice of worldly authorities. McKnight addresses the popular misconceptions about the book, explaining what John means in his use of the images of dragons, lambs, and beasts; and how the symbolism of Revelation spoke in the days of Rome and still speaks powerfully to the present day—though not in the way most people think. You’ll learn to see the Book of Revelation in a fresh and hopeful new way. Drawing from the latest scholarship, the authors present an understanding of Revelation for anyone interested in deepening their personal study of the Bible and strengthening their faith as dissident disciples who can discern the presence of "Babylon" in our world and learn to speak up, speak out, and walk in the way of the Lamb.
Book Synopsis Bethlehem to Patmos: The New Testament Story (Revised 2013) by : Paul Barnett
Download or read book Bethlehem to Patmos: The New Testament Story (Revised 2013) written by Paul Barnett and published by Authentic Media Inc. This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historian, Paul Barnett, examines the New Testament story and beyond in this revision of his bestselling work, Bethlehem to Patmos. Through this fascinating journey he shows that the New Testament is historically reliable on the life of Jesus and the early experiences of the nascent first-century church. 'I am thrilled that Paul Barnett's time-honoured orientation to the New Testament will continue to find an audience with this new edition. In an age in which religion is frequently evaluated by the sound-bytes of its most eccentric representatives, it is essential to find a reliable guide to the actual documents that underlie the Christian faith. Barnett's familiarity with the documents, sane historical judgement, and engaging storytelling make him just such a guide. The work moves swiftly from the events that opened the New Testament era to those that brought it to a close. Along the way, Barnett shows how these events relate to scholarly understanding of the era, what was at stake in interpreting and committing these events to writing, and why these events continue to have significance. The book is immensely useful as a solid orientation for students of the New Testament, and I commend it gladly.' Matthew R. Malcolm, Head of New Testament, Trinity Theological College, Western Australia

Book Synopsis Peace Be Upon You by : Zachary Karabell
Download or read book Peace Be Upon You written by Zachary Karabell and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2008-03-11 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a narrative that is at once thoughtful and passionate, an award-winning historian reveals the history of peaceful coexistence between Muslims, Christians, and Jews over the course of fourteen centuries until the present day. The harsh reality of religious conflict is daily news, and the rising tensions between the West and Islam show no signs of abating. However, the relationship between Muslims, Christians, and Jews has not always been marked with animosity; there is also a deep and nuanced history of peace. From the court of caliphs in ancient Baghdad, where scholars engaged in spirited debate, to present-day Dubai, where members of each faith work side by side, Karabell traces the forgotten legacy of tolerance and cooperation these three monotheistic religions have enjoyed—a legacy that will be vital in any attempt to find common ground and reestablish peace.

Lewis Johnson (in 'Bibliography for New Testament Exegesis and Exposition') "a classic."

Book excerpt: Riots and Pogroms presents comparative studies of riots and pogroms in the twentieth century in Russia, Germany, Israel, India, and the United States, with a comparative, historical, and analytical introduction by the editor.

The concern of the editor and contributors is with the struggle for control over the meaning of riotous events, for the right to represent them properly.
Book Synopsis David Remembered by : Joseph Blenkinsopp
Download or read book David Remembered written by Joseph Blenkinsopp and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2013-08-18 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the David theme in the collective mind of ancient Israel and the early church In this follow-up study to Judaism, The First Phase, Joseph Blenkinsopp traces the development of traditions about David in the collective memory of the people of Israel and the first Christians, from the extinction of the Davidic dynasty in the sixth century B.C.E. to the early common era. David Remembered is neither a biography of David nor an exegetical study of the biblical narrative about David. Rather, it focuses on the memory of David as a powerful factor in the formation of social identity, in political activity (especially in reaction to imperial rule), and in projections of the future viewed as the restoration of a never-forgotten past.

Book Synopsis Great High Priest by : Margaret Barker
Download or read book Great High Priest written by Margaret Barker and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2003-05-21 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Margaret Barker has been researching and writing about the Jerusalem temple for over twenty years. Many of her studies have remained unpublished. Here for the first time her work on the roots of Christian liturgy has been brought together.Whereas most scholarship has concentrated upon the synagogue, Margaret Barker's work on the Jerusalem temple contributes significantly to our understanding of the meaning and importance of many elements of Christian liturgy which have hitherto remained obscure. This book opens up a new field of research.The many subjects addressed include the roots of the Eucharist in various temple rituals and offerings other than Passover, the meaning of the holy of holies and the Christian sanctuary, the cosmology of temple and church, the significance of the Veil of the Temple for understanding priesthood and Incarnation, the Holy Wisdom and the Mother of God, angels and priesthood, the concept of unity, the high priestly tradition in the early church and evidence that Christianity was a conscious continuation of the temple.All scholars and students whose interest encompasses the origins of Christian (and Orthodox) liturgy, the Old Testament, early Christianity, Jewish Christian relations, Platonism and the origins of Islam will find this book a hugely rewarding source of information and new ideas.
