Download or read book The Hebrew Prophets after the Shoah written by Hemchand Gossai and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-06-30 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shoah is without question the defining moment in modern history, and it has transformed the manner in which the Bible is read and how God is understood. Questions that hitherto were rarely posed publicly must now be posed, and the human drama born out of exile, bondage, and genocide must be reckoned with in a new light. These are issues that are predicated on a faithful God to whom challenging and even unanswerable questions must be voiced. So, how might the Hebrew prophets address such contemporary issues as imperial militarism, eminent domain, trust and trauma, hunger and power, memory and shame, blame and self-critique, madness and exceptionalism? The daring words of the Hebrew prophets must have voices of testimony and witness in our time. This book speaks to that challenge.
Book Synopsis Reading the Hebrew Bible After the Shoah by : Marvin Alan Sweeney
Download or read book Reading the Hebrew Bible After the Shoah written by Marvin Alan Sweeney and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marvin Sweeney finds Holocaust theology an indispensable resource as he examines often ignored biblical texts where ancient Israel contemplated apparent divine absence and "divine evil." In the stories of Abraham, Moses, Esther, Job, kings, prophets, and others, Sweeney discerns the insight "that human beings cannot always depend upon God to act to ensure righteousness in the world." The insistence by Holocaust theologians that human beings are responsible for doing justice in the world is powerfully present already in the Bible itself. Book jacket.

Book Synopsis Wrestling with the Violence of God by : M. Daniel Carroll R.
Download or read book Wrestling with the Violence of God written by M. Daniel Carroll R. and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-10-09 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevalence of evil and violence in the world is a growing focus of scholarly attention, especially violence done in the name of religion and violence found within the pages of the Old Testament. Many atheists consider this reason enough to reject the notion of a supreme deity. Some Christians attempt to exonerate God by reinterpreting problematic passages or by prioritizing portrayals of God’s nonviolence. Other Christians have begun to respond to violence in the Old Testament by questioning the nature of the text itself, though not rejecting belief in a good God. Wrestling with the Violence of God: Soundings in the Old Testament is a response to these challenging issues. The chapters in this volume present empathetic, holistic, and methodologically responsible readings of the Old Testament as Christian Scripture. Contributors from different nationalities, religious traditions, and educational institutions come together to address representative biblical material that depicts violence. Chapters address explicit portrayals of divine violence, human responses to violence of God and violence in the world, alternative understandings of supposedly violent texts, and a hopeful future in which violence is no more. Rather than attempt to offer a conclusive answer to the issue, this volume constructively contributes to the ongoing discussion.

Book Synopsis Breaking the Tablets by : Daṿid Halivni
Download or read book Breaking the Tablets written by Daṿid Halivni and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is it possible, after the Shoah, to declare one's faith in the God of Israel? Breaking the Tablets is David Weiss Halivni's eloquent and insightful response to this question. Halivni, Auschwitz survivor and one of the greatest Talmudic scholars of the past century, declares that at this time of God's near absence, Jews can still observe the words of the Torah and pray for God to come near again. Jews must continue to study the classic texts of rabbinic Judaism but now with greater humility, recognizing that even the greatest religious leaders and thinkers interpret these texts only as mere people, prone to human error. Breaking the Tablets is important reading for anyone who feels burdened by the question of how it is possible to believe in God and practice their religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is a unified artistic-literary, interpretive commentary on the Latter Prophets (Nevi'im Acharonim) section of the Hebrew Bible. It attempts to express the ecstatic poetic narrative and mind-altering visions of the Hebrew Prophets in a distinctlt Jewish midrashic--yet unique--manner, deriving multiple visionary images from multiple translations of the original Hebrew text, and then retranslating the derived fused images back into a fresh literary biblical analysis"--introduction, p. xix.
Download or read book Tanak written by Marvin A. Sweeney and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 1301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Though 'biblical theology' has long been considered a strictly Christian enterprise, Marvin A. Sweeney here proposes a Jewish theology of the Hebrew Bible, based on the importance of Tanak as the foundation of Judaism and organized around the major components: Torah, Nevi'im (Prophets), and Kethuvim (Writings). Sweeney finds the structuring themes of Jewish life: the constitution of the nation Israel in relation to God; the disruption of that ideal, documented by the Prophets; and the reconstitution of the nation around the Second Temple in the Writings. Throughout he is attentive to tensions within and among the texts and the dialogical character of Israel's sacred heritage" -- Publisher description.

Book excerpt: The writers of the New Testament were largely Jewish and laying the blame for the Holocaust at their feet would be absurd. However, the later cultural origins of anti-semitism means that reading the New Testament after the event calls for a new ethics of interpretation. These essays address this grave issue in detail,

Book Synopsis Explaining the Holocaust by : Mordecai Schreiber
Download or read book Explaining the Holocaust written by Mordecai Schreiber and published by Lutterworth Press. This book was released on 2015-10-29 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seventy years after it took place, the Holocaust committed in Europe during World War II continues to cast a shadow over humankind. Man's inhumanity to man is not a thing of the past; genocidal action is still commonplace around the globe. Has humankind learned the lessons of the past? Is the human race doomed to live in a perpetual state of war and self-destruction?Explaining the Holocaust shows how, given the right circumstances, human beings can lose their humanity. Does that mean that the ethical teachings of the major religions are wishful thinking? This book tackles two questions that continue to be asked by people everywhere: Why did a highly civilised nation like Germany, in the middle of the twentieth century, commit the most heinous crime in human history? And if indeed there is a loving God who made a covenant with the people of Israel, why were millions of innocent Jews dehumanised, starved, tortured, and systematically murdered?Explaining the Holocaust spares no one in discussing the enormity of this evil. But it also shows how the divine spark in human beings did not die during those years of darkness, and why we still have a glimmer of hope.

Book Synopsis The Hebrew Prophets by : Georgia Louise Chamberlin
Download or read book The Hebrew Prophets written by Georgia Louise Chamberlin and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hebrew Prophets: Or Patriots and Leaders of Israel, a Textbook for Students in Secondary Schools and for Popular Study Many years ago the author of this volume, then about sixteen years of age, came into touch with a great teacher. Up to that period the books bearing the names of the Hebrew prophets were to her both unexplored and unintelligible. In a few brief class periods at a summer school, through the wonderful presentations of this teacher, the Hebrew prophets became living men with living mes sages to the world. Since that time, no year has passed in which these men have not become more real, and their in uence on human life more clearly seen and appreciated. It is in the hope that this experience may, in some measure, come to the boys and girls who study these pages, that this book has been prepared. In entering upon the study of the chapters contained in this book, the reader will meet a task which, while containing many possibilities for literary enjoyment, will need the same painstaking care which he devotes to the study of Greek, Roman, or other ancient history and literature. It has been too long the custom to relegate the study of the history and literature of the Hebrews to a half-hour on Sunday in connection with the Sunday School. Such an expenditure of time is better than giving no attention to the subject, but it is hoped that all who use this book will find it possible to devote a fair amount of time to the consideration of its pages, whether the work be performed on Sunday or a week-day, in a school for religious instruction alone, or in connection with the general education of the day school. We have only to remind ourselves of the far-reaching in uence of the literature of the Hebrews upon the civic, social, and religious life of the world to convince ourselves of its importance as a subject of study. We must bear in mind that in the collection of literature from which selections are presented in this volume there are many ideas as well as frequent words and phrases which can be understood only in the light of the history out of which the literature arose.

Book Synopsis The Spirit of Renewal by : Rabbi Edward Feld
Download or read book The Spirit of Renewal written by Rabbi Edward Feld and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernity has provided more than enough reason to give up believing in holiness, still we have learned that to give up the struggle to achieve it means that we become less human. As we leave the twentieth century, we discover new reasons to return to old faith. We rediscover an urgent need to defend the sacred, even as our understanding differs from our ancestors. We choose not to retreat from the world, but to struggle within it, to stain ourselves with sin even as we seek to establish the good. —from Chapter 13, “Humanity” The cataclysm of the Holocaust seems to forbid speech. Yet even in the heart of that darkness, sparks of sacredness were kept alive. From these sparks, Rabbi Edward Feld suggests, Jews and others can renew a faith and find a language that recovers the holy even after experiencing the reign of a Kingdom of Night unimaginable to previous generations. In a voice that is engaging, often poetic, Rabbi Edward Feld helps the modern reader understand events that span almost 4,000 years of the history of Judaism and the Jewish people. With rare clarity, insight, and gentleness, he offers a thought-provoking yet accessible study of the way tragedy has shaped Jewish history and the self-understanding of Jews. The Spirit of Renewal explores four key events that reshaped religious expression, two ancient and two modern: the Babylonian exile; the Bar Kochba revolution; the Holocaust; and the establishment of the State of Israel. The Spirit of Renewal shows how, even under the most traumatic of circumstances, Judaism survives, renewing itself and flourishing again. This profound and wise meditation opens the way to a powerful new understanding of the nature of God and the spiritual life.
