Book Synopsis Signposts to the Messianic Age by : John D. Rayner
Download or read book Signposts to the Messianic Age written by John D. Rayner and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection, mainly of more recent sermons and lectures is a summation of the author's life as a preacher and teacher. It is now offered to a wider public than the relatively small audiences to which they were originally addressed. If there is a common thread that runs through this volume, it is its emphasis on the gentler and more outward-looking values of Judaism, which are not much in evidence today. By cultivating and exemplifying these values Jews can best contribute to humanity as it struggles to shake off its present troubles and yearns to find again the road map to justice and peace, not only in the Middle East but everywhere. This is a fitting tribute to a man whose pastoral care and love of Judaism stretch far beyond the confines of his community and reach out to followers of all religious traditions.

Book Synopsis How to Do Good & Avoid Evil by : Rabbi Walter Homolka
Download or read book How to Do Good & Avoid Evil written by Rabbi Walter Homolka and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2012-08-20 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore how the principles of a global ethic can be found in Judaism and how they can provide the ethical norms for all religions to work together toward a more peaceful humankind. In 1993, the Parliament of the World's Religions endorsed the "Declaration toward a Global Ethic" composed by Hans Küng. In it, representatives from all the world’s religions agreed on principles for a global ethic and committed themselves to directives of nonviolence, respect for life, solidarity, a just economic order, tolerance, and equal rights and partnership between men and women. But the declaration was just the first step. In this impressive volume, Hans Küng, probably the most famous living Roman Catholic theologian, and Rabbi Walter Homolka, head of Germany’s Abraham Geiger rabbinical seminary and distinguished professor, draw on the Jewish tradition to show the riches that Judaism can offer people of all faiths and nonbelievers in achieving these directives. Presenting key sacred texts and theological writings, the authors make the case for binding values and basic moral attitudes that can be found in Judaism’s universal message of a better world. Exploring Judaism’s focus on ethical conduct over declarations of faith, the authors show that making ethical decisions is indispensable in an ever-changing world.

Book Synopsis After Expulsion by : Jonathan S. Ray
Download or read book After Expulsion written by Jonathan S. Ray and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2013-01-07 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honorable Mention for the 2014 Jordan Schnitzer book award in Medieval and Early Modern Jewish History presented by the Association for Jewish Studies On August 3, 1492, the same day that Columbus set sail from Spain, the long and glorious history of that nation’s Jewish community officially came to a close. The expulsion of Europe’s last major Jewish community ended more than a thousand years of unparalleled prosperity, cultural vitality and intellectual productivity. Yet, the crisis of 1492 also gave rise to a dynamic and resilient diaspora society spanning East and West. After Expulsion traces the various paths of migration and resettlement of Sephardic Jews and Conversos over the course of the tumultuous sixteenth century. Pivotally, the volume argues that the exiles did not become “Sephardic Jews” overnight. Only in the second and third generation did these disparate groups coalesce and adopt a “Sephardic Jewish” identity. After Expulsion presents a new and fascinating portrait of Jewish society in transition from the medieval to the early modern period, a portrait that challenges many longstanding assumptions about the differences between Europe and the Middle East.
Book Synopsis Jews, God, and Videotape by : Jeffrey Shandler
Download or read book Jews, God, and Videotape written by Jeffrey Shandler and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pioneering examination of the impact of new communications technologies and media practices on the religious life of American Jewry Engaging media has been an ongoing issue for American Jews, as it has been for other religious communities in the United States, for several generations. Shandler’s examples range from early recordings of cantorial music to Hasidic outreach on the Internet. In between he explores mid-twentieth-century ecumenical radio and television broadcasting, video documentation of life cycle rituals, museum displays and tourist practices as means for engaging the Holocaust as a moral touchstone, and the role of mass-produced material culture in Jews’ responses to the American celebration of Christmas. Shandler argues that the impact of these and other media on American Judaism is varied and extensive: they have challenged the role of clergy and transformed the nature of ritual; facilitated innovations in religious practice and scholarship, as well as efforts to maintain traditional observance and teachings; created venues for outreach, both to enhance relationships with non-Jewish neighbors and to promote greater religiosity among Jews; even redefined the notion of what might constitute a Jewish religious community or spiritual experience. As Jews, God, and Videotape demonstrates, American Jews’ experiences are emblematic of how religious communities’ engagements with new media have become central to defining religiosity in the modern age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Hutchings outlines signs occurring in Israel that the Bible says will immediately precede the Great Tribulation and the coming of the Messiah.

Dr. Hutchings and Mrs. Treibich have put these signs in chronological, documented order so that no Jew can doubt (if he believes the Torah) that before the Messiah comes, a time of great persecution and trouble must come first.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Messianic Age is the true story of a modern-day spiritual awakening that arises from one man's exemplary walk with the Lord. Drawing parallels from the messianic age of Jesus and His first followers, the book narrates the life of a humble pastor who is faithful despite severe hardship, and depicts the impact he has upon six young disciples who learn to follow Jesus and become ministers of the gospel in their own right. The story of their collective "messianic age" unfolds from its setting in a small rural community and its leading church, along with the personalities, events, and occasional humor that occupy it. The key themes of personal faith, discipleship, and evangelism emerge throughout the narrative.Jerry Lynn Ray, Ph. D., The University of Virginia, is Chair of the Division of Religion and Philosophy at Brewton-Parker College in Mount Vernon, Georgia.
Book Synopsis Creation, Nature and Hope in 4 Ezra by : Jonathan A. Moo
Download or read book Creation, Nature and Hope in 4 Ezra written by Jonathan A. Moo and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2011-05-18 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exegetical study of creation and nature in 4 Ezra argues that this first-century Jewish apocalypse's profound pessimism concerning humankind and the present age is matched by a surprisingly robust belief in the goodness of the created order. 4 Ezra presents the natural world as standing with God over and against corrupt humankind, envisions substantial elements of continuity between the ages and hints that those parts of the earth that remain unsullied by humankind still witness to God's sovereignty, love and justice and even serve as material pointers to the new creation. This study calls into question the persistent assumption that apocalypticism and the 'apocalyptic eschatology' of the historical apocalypses in particular necessarily entails a profound dualism. Emerging as it does from an experience of historical disaster and unresolved questions of theodicy, 4 Ezra especially is often considered an apocalypse in which the doctrine of the two ages has been radicalised to the extent that creation, history and life in this world have lost their meaning or significance. The results of this study, however, indicate that while 4 Ezra considers the world of humankind to be corrupted and corrupting, in the natural world the creator's sovereignty is not so obscured, and there his original intentions for creation can still be perceived. This study provides a fresh reading of 4 Ezra that takes seriously the book's unity and coherence. Its conclusions suggest that it may be best to abandon the label 'apocalyptic eschatology' given its potential mask the interesting complexities and mix of continuity and discontinuity that attend the portrayal of creation, nature and hope in an apocalypse like 4 Ezra.
Book Synopsis Cosmic Crossroad Countdown by : Dr. Peter Hofmann

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings light into the fog of the mind and heart, makes sense of the obscurity in our present turmoil and in history, and reveals Truth that will give you hope and a deeper faith. Seeing, they do not see, is a warning for all of us. Are we being tested and guided by hands beyond our world for our good? Why now and why so much turmoil? Do the answers lie in the mysteries of the Prophetic Generation and Wheels of Time, or in a mysterious Fig Tree and Wilderness Experience? Or do they point to a profound Sign, a "Crossroad," that we need to grasp before it is too late?

Book Synopsis Kabbalah and Literature by : Kitty Millet
Download or read book Kabbalah and Literature written by Kitty Millet and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focuses on a range of Jewish and non-Jewish writers to examine the intersection of Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical tradition, and secular Jewish literatures. Kabbalah and Literature shows how the Jewish mystical tradition contributes to the renewal of literature in a modern, global, and increasingly disconnected age. Kitty Millet explores Kabbalah's conceptual underpinnings, aesthetic principles, tenets, and signifiers to demonstrate how literature's absorption of kabbalistic material has altered its ontology, function, and the tasks it sets for itself. Reading writers from Europe and the Americas, Kitty Millet maps how the kabbalist's desire to "recover Eden" transforms into a latent messianic drive only intuitable through text. Thus it charts a journey of sorts, a migration of Jewish mystical material embedded surreptitiously within text in order to shift ever so slightly at times the range of the literary to encompass an aesthetic vision not easily reducible to the literal, the known, the allegorical, or even the philosophical. In this way, Kabbalah and Literature proposes a novel, intuitive approach, shifting focus away from the Jewish text's epistemological elements to embrace its "secrets."
