Judaism II

Literature. Edited by Burton L. Visotzky and Michael Tilly. Translated by David E. Orton. A collective of internationally renowned experts cooperated in a singular academic enterprise to portray Judaism from its transformation as a Temple cult to its broad contemporary varieties. In three volumes the long-running book series "Die Religionen der Menschheit" (Religions of Humanity) presents for the first time a complete and compelling view on Jewish life now and then - a fascinating portrait of the Jewish people with its ability to adapt itself to most different cultural settings, always maintaining its strong and unique identity. Volume II presents Jewish literature and thinking: the Jewish Bible; Hellenistic, Tannaitic, Amoraic and Gaonic literature to medieval and modern genres. Chapters on mysticism, Piyyut, Liturgy and Prayer complete the volume. With contributions by Emanuel Tov, Michael Tilly, Günter Stemberger, Carol Bakhos, Jonathan S. Milgram, Rachel S. Mikva, Elisabeth Hollender, Elke Morlok, Dalia Marx, Marzena Zawanowska and Burton L. Visotzky. 343 Seiten mit einigen Tabellen, gebunden (Die Religionen der Menschheit; Band 27,2/Verlag W.
