Uniting the Dual Torah: Sifra and the Problem of the Mishnah
ISBN: 9780521381253 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this book Jacob Neusner conducts a close textual analysis of Sifra, a commentary on the book of Leviticus. He argues that Sifra should be understood as successfully relating the Mishnah, the authoritative writing down of the Oral Torah, to Jewish Scripture, or the written Torah.

The Mishnah, Social Perspectives Volume 2
ISBN: 9780391041592 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. For Aristotle, politics, economics, and philosophy define the social construction of any society. For Judaism, the Mishnah--along with Scripture--sets forth the systematic statement for understanding the social construction and world view of Judaism around 200 C.E. The Mishnah functioned as the basic law in the holy land and was adopted also by Jews in the Diaspora, from Babylonia to the western satrapies of the Iranian empire of the Sasanians. Professor Jacob Neusner takes seriously the three principal tasks of theoretical thought enjoined by Aristotle and asks us to look at the Mishnah not...

Theological and Philosophical Premises of Judaism
ISBN: 9781934843543 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Classical Judaism imagined the situation of the people of Israel to be unique among the nations of the earth in three aspects. The nations lived in unclean lands, contaminated by corpses and redolent of death. They themselves were destined to die without hope of renewed life after the grave. They were prisoners of secular time, subject to the movement and laws of history in its inexorable logic. Heaven did not pay attention to what they did and did not care about their conduct, so long as they observed the basic decencies mandated by the commandments that applied to the heirs of Noah, seven...

Jewish-Christian Debates
ISBN: 9780800631093 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Two eminent scholars, each expert in his own tradition, take Jewish-Christian dialogue to a new level. Aiming at neither mere description nor conversion, each presents the classical elements of his traditions understanding of three fundamental, common religious questions: where to meet God, how to live, and what to hope for. The other then responds. Neusner and Chilton's analytic comparisons of two great traditions intertwined at the roots serves as a primer on the defining energies of both traditions. The reader is invited to identify the traditions' unity of questions and the equally strong...

Reading Scripture with the Rabbis: The Five Books of Moses
ISBN: 9780761835943 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This anthology illustrates how Judaism's classical rabbis of the first seven centuries of the Common Era read the ancient Israelite scriptures. It presents, in particular, a selection of writings that show what happens to the five books of Moses at the hands of the Rabbinical sages of the formative age of Judaism. Each Midrash-compilation takes up a book of Scripture and systematically expounds the message that the Rabbis derive from that particular book. No statement by the rabbis of the meaning of a biblical book emerges as a mere paraphrase of the plain sense of Scripture itself. The...

Is Scripture the Origin of the Halakhah?
ISBN: 9780761831174 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Halakhah constitutes a coherent construction comprised by category-formations defined by topics purposively amplified. These category-formations everywhere pursue a cogent analytical program, addressing diverse subjects, treated systematically, a single set of questions of definition and analysis. Is Scripture the origin of the Halakhic system, which defines the norms of Judaism? At stake is not the starting point of discrete bits of legal data. At issue is the origin of the comprehensive structure comprised by the Halakhic category-formations, by these topics and no others. Scripture...

Rabbi Moses: A Documentary Catalogue
ISBN: 9780761860914 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 133 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is an exercise in the systematic recourse to anachronism as a theological-exegetical mode of apologetics. Specifically, Neusner demonstrates the capacity of the Rabbinic sages to read ideas attested in their own day as authoritative testaments to -- to them -- ancient times. Thus, Scripture was read as integral testimony to the contemporary scene. About a millennium -- 750 B.C. E. to 350 C. E. -- separates Scripture's prophets from the later sages of the Mishnah and the Talmud. It is quite natural to recognize evidence for differences over a long period of time. Yet Judaism sees...

Praxis and Parable
ISBN: 9780761833406 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Judaism's two native categories, narrative theology and law (also known as parable and praxis or Aggadah and Halakhah) form two distinct modes of discourse. The one expounds norms of attitude and belief, the other, norms of action and behavior. Each possesses its own modes of thought, topical program, and medium for expression. Joined together, they create a remarkably coherent statement. Any understanding of Rabbinic Judaism depends on a theory of how these two modes of thought and expression relate to form a single cogent system. In Praxis and Parable, author Jacob Neusner explores how that...

Studying Classical Judaism: A Primer
ISBN: 9780664251369 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What do we know about the history, literature, and religion of Judaism in its formative age? How do we know it, and why does it matter? In Studying Classical Judaism, renowned scholar and author Jacob Neusner addresses these and other important questions. Applying many of the same methods Christian scholars use to study Christianity, Neusner outlines what we now know about ancient Judaism. He points out the core-belief of normative Judaism and reveals the methodological underpinnings of the most cogent and up-to-date interpretations of the texts that determined classical...

The Midrash: An Introduction
ISBN: 9781568213576 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 229 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Midrash: An Introduction sets forth the way in which Judaism reads the Hebrew Bible. In this masterful presentation, the reader is introduced to the classics of Jewish Bible interpretation, with special attention to the way in which the ribbis of Talmudic times read the Pentateuch, the Book of Ruth, and Song of Songs. The seven Midrash compilations are introduced with a lucid account of their main points, accompanied by selections that give the reader a direct encounter, in English, with the Bible as Judaism understands it. The word midrash, based on the Hebrew root DaRaSH ("search"),...

In this book, Jacob Neusner gives an introductory, systematic, and holistic account of the theology and practice of Rabbinic Judaism, which emerged, along with Christianity, from antiquity and formed the classical statement of Judaism to the present day.

Neusner also discusses: revelation and scripture, the doctrine of God, the definition of the holy, the chain of tradition embodied in the story of the written and oral Torah, the intervention of God in...

The Rabbis and the Prophets
ISBN: 9780761854371 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Prophets of Scripture are subverted by the Rabbis of the Talmud and Midrash. In the Rabbinic canon, the Prophets are represented as a miscellaneous mass of proof-texts, made up of one clause or sentence at a time. The Scripture's prophetic writings cited in clauses and phrases in the Rabbinic canon lose their integrity and cease to speak in fully coherent paragraphs and chapters. The same prophets, however, came to whole and coherent expression in other venues established by those same Rabbis. So the Rabbis of late antiquity took over writings from what they recognized as ancient times...
