Ascent to Heaven in Jewish and Christian Apocalypses
ISBN: 9780195082036 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 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. Martha Himmelfarb places the apocalypses in relation to both their biblical antecedents and their context in the Greco-Roman world. Her analysis emphasizes the...

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

In The Moral Imagination, Gertrude Himmelfarb, one of America's most distinguished intellectual historians, explores the minds and lives of some of the most brilliant and provocative thinkers of modern times.

A Kingdom of Priests: Ancestry and Merit in Ancient Judaism
ISBN: 9780812239508 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 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...

By such a route Ms. Himmelfarb recaptures "a sense of how a scientist, with the most innocent...

In these brilliant essays, Gertrude Himmelfarb, one of America s most respected scholars of Victorian thought and culture, explores the many facets, public and private, of the Victorian idea of morality. Incisively and provocatively she illuminates the "moral imagination" of the Victorians, "the imagination that treasured the complexity of the heart and mind and that sought, by aesthetic means as well as ethical, to adorn and enhance rather than destroy the 'decent drapery of life.'" The conventional view of Victorianism a Family Shakespeare purged of indelicacies, piano legs sheathed in...
