Ascent to Heaven in Jewish and Christian Apocalypses
ISBN: 9780195082036 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is a study of the ancient Jewish and Christian apocalypses involving ascent into heaven, which have received little scholarly attention in comparison to apocalypses concerned primarily with the end of the world. Recent developments like the publication of the Aramaic Enoch fragments from Qumran and interest in questions of genre in the study of the apocalypses make this a particularly appropriate time to undertake this study.

W swoim klasycznym już zbiorze esejów Gertrude Himmelfarb dokonuje krytycznego przeglądu rozmaitych sposobów uprawiania historii, które zyskały na popularności w XX wieku.

It is this passion that makes their...

A Kingdom of Priests: Ancestry and Merit in Ancient Judaism
ISBN: 9780812239508 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A Kingdom of Priests Ancestry and Merit in Ancient Judaism Martha Himmelfarb According to the account in the Book of Exodus, God addresses the children of Israel as they stand before Mt. Sinai with the words, "You shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation" (19:6). The sentence, Martha Himmelfarb observes, is paradoxical, for priests are by definition a minority, yet the meaning in context is clear: the entire people is holy. The words also point to some significant tensions in the biblical understanding of the people of Israel. If the entire people is holy, why does it need...

The conventional view of Victorianism a Family Shakespeare purged of indelicacies, piano legs sheathed in...
