Book Synopsis God, Man, and the World by : Franz Rosenzweig
Download or read book God, Man, and the World written by Franz Rosenzweig and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1998-12-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translated here for the first time by Barbara E. Galli, these five lectures and writings of Franz Rosenzweig will be welcomed by both the novice and the veteran student of the great philosopher. Based on his lectures at the Jildisches Freies Lehrhaus, the famous Jewish Institute of Adult Education, the essays include notes for a group of lectures of 1920, "Faith and Knowledge," followed by a three-part lecture series of 1922: "The Science of God," "The Science of Man," and the "Science of World." The pieces form a powerful whole. Not only does this book further our understanding of Rosenzweig's daunting work, The Star of Redemption—a seemingly inexhaustible text—but of Rosenzweig's primary principles, that of the irreducibility of God, human being, and world, and of the needfulness of relation and of time for the nourishment of truth and cognition. He expounds on his premise that faith and knowledge are interdependent, and that knowledge is derivative of faith.
Book Synopsis Scripture and Translation by : Martin Buber
Download or read book Scripture and Translation written by Martin Buber and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scripture and Translation is the first English translation of an essential work on translation theory and the modern literary study of the Bible. First published in Germany in 1936 as Die Schrift und ihre Verdeutschung, the book grew out of Buber and Rosenzweig's work on an innovative and still controversial German translation of the Hebrew Bible. Rather than provide an idiomatic rendering, the Buber-Rosenzweig translation recasts the German language on the model of biblical Hebrew by attempting to reproduce the spoken quality, structure, and ordering of poetic devices found in the original texts. These essays articulate the rationale for the translation, both in theoretical terms and through close readings of specific texts. This edition also includes the first publication in any language of Martin Buber's essay ""The How and Why of Our Biblical Translation"".

Book Synopsis The Star of Redemption by : Franz Rosenzweig
Download or read book The Star of Redemption written by Franz Rosenzweig and published by University of Wisconsin Pres. This book was released on 2005-03-15 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Star of Redemption is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding religion and philosophy in the twentieth century. Fusing philosophy and theology, the book assigns both Judaism and Christianity distinct but equally important roles in the spiritual structure of the world. Franz Rosenzweig finds in both biblical religions approaches to a comprehension of reality. The major themes and motifs of The Star—the birth, life, death, and the immortality of the soul; Eastern philosophies and Jewish mysticism; the relationship between God, world and humanity over time; and revelation as the real biblical miracle of faith and path to redemption—resonate meaningfully.
Book Synopsis Thinking in Translation by : Orr Scharf
Download or read book Thinking in Translation written by Orr Scharf and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-08-19 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thinking in Translation posits the Hebrew Bible as the fulcrum of the thought of Franz Rosenzweig (1886-1929), underpinning a unique synthesis between systematic thinking and biblical interpretation. Addressing a lacuna in Rosenzweig scholarship, the book offers a critical evaluation of his engagement with the Bible through a comparative study of The Star of Redemption and his Bible translation with Martin Buber. The book opens with Rosenzweig's rejection of German Idealism and fascination with the sources of Judaism. It then analyzes the unique hermeneutic approach he developed to philosophy and scripture as a symbiosis of critique and cross-fertilization, facilitated by translation. An analysis of the Star exposes Rosenzweig's employment of translation in grafting biblical verses unto the philosophical discussion. It is followed by a reading that demonstrates how his Bible translation reflects an attempt to re-valorize the Tanakh as a distinctively Jewish scripture, over and against Christian appropriations. Thinking in Translation recasts Rosenzweig's life's work as a project of melding Judaism and modernity in an attempt to secure their spiritual and intellectual survival.

Book Synopsis The Star of Redemption by : Franz Rosenzweig
Download or read book The Star of Redemption written by Franz Rosenzweig and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 1985-08-31 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Star of Redemption is widely recognized as a key document of modern existential thought and a significant contribution to Jewish theology in the twentieth century. An affirmation of what Rosenzweig called “the new thinking,” the work ensconces common sense in the place of abstract, conceptual philosophizing and posits the validity of the concrete, individual human being over that of “humanity” in general. Fusing philosophy and theology, it assigns both Judaism and Christianity distinct but equally important roles in the spiritual structure of the world, and finds in both biblical religions approaches toward a comprehension of reality.

Book Synopsis Idolatry and Representation by : Leora Batnitzky
Download or read book Idolatry and Representation written by Leora Batnitzky and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-06 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Franz Rosenzweig is arguably the most important Jewish philosopher of the twentieth century, his thought remains little understood. Here, Leora Batnitzky argues that Rosenzweig's redirection of German-Jewish ethical monotheism anticipates and challenges contemporary trends in religious studies, ethics, philosophy, anthropology, theology, and biblical studies. This text, which captures the hermeneutical movement of Rosenzweig's corpus, is the first to consider the full import of the cultural criticism articulated in his writings on the modern meanings of art, language, ethics, and national identity. In the process, the book solves significant conundrums about Rosenzweig's relation to German idealism, to other major Jewish thinkers, to Jewish political life, and to Christianity, and brings Rosenzweig into conversation with key contemporary thinkers. Drawing on Rosenzweig's view that Judaism's ban on idolatry is the crucial intellectual and spiritual resource available to respond to the social implications of human finitude, Batnitzky interrogates idolatry as a modern possibility. Her analysis speaks not only to the question of Judaism's relationship to modernity (and vice versa), but also to the generic question of the present's relationship to the past--a subject of great importance to anyone contemplating the modern statuses of religious tradition, reason, science, and historical inquiry. By way of Rosenzweig, Batnitzky argues that contemporary philosophers and ethicists must relearn their approaches to religious traditions and texts to address today's central ethical problems.
Book Synopsis Franz Rosenzweig's Conversions by : Benjamin Pollock
Download or read book Franz Rosenzweig's Conversions written by Benjamin Pollock and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-12 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Franz Rosenzweig's near-conversion to Christianity in the summer of 1913 and his subsequent decision three months later to recommit himself to Judaism is one of the foundational narratives of modern Jewish thought. In this new account of events, Benjamin Pollock suggests that what lay at the heart of Rosenzweig's religious crisis was not a struggle between faith and reason, but skepticism about the world and hope for personal salvation. A close examination of this important time in Rosenzweig's life, the book also sheds light on the full trajectory of his philosophical development.
Book Synopsis Revelation and Authority by : Benjamin D. Sommer
Download or read book Revelation and Authority written by Benjamin D. Sommer and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At once a study of biblical theology and modern Jewish thought, this volume describes a “participatory theory of revelation” as it addresses the ways biblical authors and contemporary theologians alike understand the process of revelation and hence the authority of the law. Benjamin Sommer maintains that the Pentateuch’s authors intend not only to convey God’s will but to express Israel’s interpretation of and response to that divine will. Thus Sommer’s close readings of biblical texts bolster liberal theologies of modern Judaism, especially those of Abraham Joshua Heschel and Franz Rosenzweig. This bold view of revelation puts a premium on human agency and attests to the grandeur of a God who accomplishes a providential task through the free will of the human subjects under divine authority. Yet, even though the Pentateuch’s authors hold diverse views of revelation, all of them regard the binding authority of the law as sacrosanct. Sommer’s book demonstrates why a law-observant religious Jew can be open to discoveries about the Bible that seem nontraditional or even antireligious.
Book Synopsis On Jewish Learning by : Franz Rosenzweig
Download or read book On Jewish Learning written by Franz Rosenzweig and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeking how to be an observant Jew in the modern world, Rosenzweig refused to reduce the traditions of Jewish law to mere rituals, customs, and folkways. His aim for himself and for others was to find Judaism by living it, and to live it by knowing it more deeply."--BOOK JACKET.
Book Synopsis Jewish Perspectives on Christianity by : Fritz A. Rothschild
Download or read book Jewish Perspectives on Christianity written by Fritz A. Rothschild and published by Crossroad Publishing. This book was released on 1990 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In his general introduction Fritz Rothschild quotes these memorable lines of the young Heinrich Heine: Have we not endured each other / As true brothers through the ages? / You endured that I kept breathing, / I endured your manic rages." "For centuries Jews as a minority in a Christian world have rarely, if ever, voiced their negative views of Christianity without first considering the consequences. Still, despite the long history of so many one-sided debates and discussions, Professor Rothschild finds in the five Jewish thinkers represented in this volume and the five Christian theologians who wrote the individual introductory essays evidence of a new relationship which he characterizes by the term "mutuality."" "Each of the five Jewish thinkers represents a particular Jewish outlook and each is concerned with what he believes to be the essential nature of Christianity as it appears to him from his historically and existentially conditioned perspective. In turn, each of the Christian "respondents" (J. Louis Martyn on Baeck, Ekkehard Stegemann on Buber, Bernhard Casper on Rosenzweig, Bernhard Anderson on Herberg, and John Merkle on Heschel) deals with the question: Which Judaism confronts here which type of Christianity?" "The chief topics dealt with can be listed under the following headings: (1) the person and significance of Jesus; (2) the polarity of law and gospel, works and faith, human righteousness and divine grace; (3) the place of the Hebrew Bible in Christianity; and (4) the role of the church as the New Israel vis-a-vis the Jews as the Old Israel "according to the flesh."" "While the selections in this volume are for the most part "forthright statements by forthright men," Professor Rothschild offers a fascinating glimpse in his introduction of some of the private reservations of some of these Jewish thinkers, and even blunt criticisms, that never found their way into their published works. The volume concludes with an extensive bibliography by and about the thinkers presented, particularly with regard to their views on Christianity."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
