Download or read book From Josephus to Yosippon and Beyond written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-06-13 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two millennia ago, the Jewish priest-turned-general Flavius Josephus, captured by the emperor Vespasian in the middle of the Roman-Jewish War (66–70 CE), spent the last decades of his life in Rome writing several historiographical works in Greek. Josephus was eagerly read and used by Christian thinkers, but eventually his writings became the basis for the early-10th century Hebrew text called Sefer Yosippon, reintegrating Josephus into the Jewish tradition. This volume marks the first edited collection to be dedicated to the study of Josephus, Yosippon, and their reception histories. Consisting of critical inquiries into one or both of these texts and their afterlives, the essays in this volume pave the way for future research on the Josephan tradition in Greek, Latin, Hebrew and beyond.

Download or read book The Jewish Jesus written by Zev Garber and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-12 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a general understanding within religious and academic circles that the incarnate Christ of Christian belief lived and died a faithful Jew. This volume addresses Jesus in the context of Judaism. By emphasizing his Jewishness, the authors challenge today’s Jews to reclaim the Nazarene as a proto-rebel rabbi and invite Christians to discover or rediscover the Church’s Jewish heritage. The essays in this volume cover historical, literary, liturgical, philosophical, religious, theological, and contemporary issues related to the Jewish Jesus. Several of them were originally presented at a three-day symposium on “Jesus in the Context of Judaism and the Challenge to the Church,” hosted by the Samuel Rosenthal Center for Judaic Studies at Case Western Reserve University in 2009. In the context of pluralism, in the temper of growing interreligious dialogue, and in the spirit of reconciliation, encountering Jesus as living history for Christians and Jews is both necessary and proper. This book will be of particular interest to scholars of the New Testament and Early Church who are seeking new ways of understanding Jesus in his religious and cultural milieu, as well Jewish and Christian theologians and thinkers who are concerned with contemporary Jewish and Christian relationships.

Download or read book Jewish Resistance Against the Nazis written by Patrick Henry and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2014-04-20 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume puts to rest the myth that the Jews went passively to the slaughter like sheep. Indeed Jews resisted in every Nazi-occupied country - in the forests, the ghettos, and the concentration camps.The essays presented here consider Jewish resistance to be resistance by Jewish persons in specifically Jewish groups, or by Jewish persons working within non-Jewish organizations. Resistance could be armed revolt; flight; the rescue of targeted individuals by concealment in non-Jewish homes, farms, and institutions; or by the smuggling of Jews into countries where Jews were not objects of Nazi persecution. Other forms of resistance include every act that Jewish people carried out to fight against the dehumanizing agenda of the Nazis - acts such as smuggling food, clothing, and medicine into the ghettos, putting on plays, reading poetry, organizing orchestras and art exhibits, forming schools, leaving diaries, and praying. These attempts to remain physically, intellectually, culturally, morally, and theologically alive constituted resistance to Nazi oppression, which was designed to demolish individuals, destroy their soul, and obliterate their desire to live.

Download or read book The Legend of the Septuagint written by Abraham Wasserstein and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-04-03 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Septuagint is the most influential of the Greek versions of the Torah, the first five books of the Hebrew Bible. The exact circumstances of its creation are uncertain, but different versions of a legend about the miraculous nature of the translation have existed since antiquity. Beginning in the Letter of Aristeas, the legend describes how Ptolemy Philadelphus commissioned seventy-two Jewish scribes to translate the sacred Hebrew scriptures for his famous library in Alexandria. Subsequent variations on the story recount how the scribes, working independently, produced word-for-word, identical Greek versions. In the course of the following centuries, to our own time, the story has been adapted and changed by Jews, Christians, Muslims and pagans for many different reasons: to tell a story, to explain historical events and to lend authority to the Greek text for the institutions that used it. This book offers the first account of all of these versions over the last two millennia, providing a history of the uses and abuses of the legend in various cultures around the Mediterranean.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These marvelous stories! This volume is a woman's canon presented with scholarship and wit. I thoroughly enjoyed it. - Susan B. Thistlethwaite In his treatment of Judith, LaCocque reflects on the paradox that Judith - more 'woman-oriented' than (the conceivably female-authored) Susanna - was probably written by a man. He concludes that this deserves to be celebrated: 'The best advocates for a cause are those who are not self-serving.' LaCocque appears to plead his own cause here, as he celebrates the underrepresented but bold interventions of women on behalf of God, for Israel and the world. As literature and as individuals, Susanna, Judith, Esther, and Ruth accomplish a peripeteia that allows God to convict, convert, and save. - Christopher R. Seitz

Download or read book History of the Byzantine Jews written by Elli Kohen and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2007 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History of the Byzantine Jews explores the Jewish microcosmos in Byzantium. Under the Romans, Jews enjoyed the privileges of knighthood and nobility. Although these luxuries were significantly diminished under Theodosius II- whose wife, Eudoxia, was a judaizing Empress- and the Codex Justinianus, they remained a powerful entity in Byzantium. In comparison to the irredentist Samaritans and Paulicians, the Jews remained areligio licita (permitted religion) that tolerated and even protected by Imperial and Church authority. Their position in society even enabled the Jews to vie for increased power. The Byzantine Jews tried to play the game of power politics through their affiliation with Yemen's Jewish Himyarites, and ill-fated alliance with the Persian Sassanides, and finally through the colossal power of the Jewish Khazar Empire. In this living history of the Byzantine Jews, Author Elli Kohen attempts to revive the spirit of Moses of Crete, Procopius, Eusebius, Theophanes Continuatus, and medieval chroniclers such as Liutbrand, Villehardouin, and Benjamin of Tudela. Intended as a complementary text to other classics on Byzantine Jews, this new work emphasizes multicultural cooperation in the study of this time period. Some of the events and individuals profiled in The History of the Byzantine Jews include: -Byzantine and Jewish polemists- the "Hagiographic Bibliotheca" -Historiography of a Jewish family in Byzantine Apulia -The Jerusalem Karaites finding a safe haven in Byzantium -The rerouting of the fourth Crusade through the Juiverie of Constantinople -The return of the Paleologues -Byzantine-Jewish coexistence under Symeon, Archbishop of Salonica

Download or read book King Yeshua’s Visitation written by Carmen Saunders and published by LifeRich Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A passing away, or extinction, is knocking at the door and is underway. A great King has visited earth unbeknownst to the world. Only those who are awake as watchmen, open the door to Him. This passing away is fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. In King Yeshua’s Visitation, author Carmen Saunders offers a look at the fulfillment of prophecy, Yeshua’s Parousia, and the arrival of a spiritual kingdom throughout AD history. It offers another perspective on partial preterism. Part one of King Yeshua's Visitation is an in-depth investigation of scriptures that describes the relationship between biblical prophecies and the current state of our planet, which are two controversial issues that are aligning side by side. Scriptures speak of an impending extinction, a fiery destruction, and an awesome deliverance and an exodus of those who believe. Is it at such an urgent time as this that He gathers the Jews back to the land of Israel? From the viewpoint of a partial preterist, Saunders reviews the prophecies concerning the Roman Empire to this juncture. Who was the beast and how did he enter the holy temple during the AD 70 tribulation? Was Ezekiel's prophecy concerning Gog and Magog against Jerusalem actually the Crusades? Are the devastating droughts in many countries in recent decades a fulfillment of Zechariah 14? Who were the ten kings in prophecy? There was an end to the holy temple according to Daniel, now we see the end of life on this earth according to scripture. There are two signs in recent history that were given as a warning: the Titanic and the events with the Schindler Jews during Holocaust. King Yeshua’s Visitation communicates now is the time to humbly open the door to the King. It is a wake up call to everyone on the planet. Yeshua’s words come to pass without delay and the door to salvation is closing. This demands our attention above all else. This book makes the connection of the global crises unfolding prophetically. We are much further along in prophecy than many realize. Part two of King Yeshua's Visitation describes a visitation of a different kind, such as contacts between two dimensions and the God-established witnesses who testify for believers in salvation.
