Rethinking the Messianic Idea in Judaism available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Over the centuries, the messianic tradition has provided the language through which modern Jewish philosophers, socialists, and Zionists envisioned a utopian future. Michael L. Morgan, Steven Weitzman, and an international group of leading scholars ask new questions and provide new ways of thinking about this enduring Jewish idea. Using the writings of Gershom Scholem, which ranged over the history of messianic belief and its conflicted role in the Jewish imagination, these essays put aside the boundaries that divide history from philosophy and religion to offer new perspectives on the role and relevance of messianism today.

Download and read online ebook Is There a Jewish Philosophy? write by Leon Roth. This book was released on 2020. Is There a Jewish Philosophy? available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Leon Roth (1896-1963) was the first professor of philosophy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He saw it as his purpose to encourage his students to think, and to think about their Judaism. Typical of his approach is the question with which this text opens: in what sense can we talk about Jewish philosophy, and what can we expect to find if we look for it? Defining philosophy as 'the search, through thought, for the permanent', the volume argues that in order to say whether there is a truly Jewish philosophy, one has to 'rethink fundamentals': those elements in our lives, in history, in nature which appear to be not incidental and trivial but basic. The twelve essays published here represent a selection of Roth's explorations of various aspects of his theme.

This book was released on 2010-03-30. Radical Judaism available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. How do we articulate a religious vision that embraces evolution and human authorship of Scripture? Drawing on the Jewish mystical traditions of Kabbalah and Hasidism, path-breaking Jewish scholar Arthur Green argues that a neomystical perspective can help us to reframe these realities, so they may yet be viewed as dwelling places of the sacred. In doing so, he rethinks such concepts as God, the origins and meaning of existence, human nature, and revelation to construct a new Judaism for the twenty-first century.
